It was only a matter of time, but highly pathogenic avian influence (HPAI) has officially found its way to bird populations in Antarctica, after dead migratory brown skua on Bird Island returned positive test results.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, … Continue reading Devastating bird flu officially reaches Antarctica for the first time
A team from the British Antarctic Survey has completed the first map of the ground beneath West Antarctica’s Doomsday Glacier, which is the size of Great Britain and could raise global sea levels by 65 cm (25 in) in the coming centuries as it melts.Con… Continue reading Doomsday Glacier map to shed light on future sea levels

Racing to beat the arrival of the Antarctic winter, contractors have completed a major milestone in constructing a new two-story science and operations building at British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station that is designed to withstand … Continue reading Construction of new Antarctic facility races against coming of winter
Based on a 25-year record of the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet, a team of scientists led by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have shown that changes in snowfall over Antarctica can have significant short-term effects on global sea level rises.Continue … Continue reading Antarctic snowfalls found to affect short-term sea level rises
An international team of scientists and cartographers has released the most detailed map ever of the seafloor of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica. It covers 48 million km² (19 million miles²) and includes the deepest spot yet found in the regi… Continue reading New map reveals deepest spot in Southern Ocean around Antarctica
A rarely seen total eclipse of the Sun in Antarctica on December 4 is drawing the attention of an international partnership of scientists who hope to learn more about the effects of such eclipses on space weather. The eclipse begins at 0700 GMT and can… Continue reading Rare Antarctic total solar eclipse to shed light on space weather
To learn more about the Earth’s climate and environmental history, a research team has begun an €11-million (US$12.9-million) project with the hopes of collecting the oldest continuous ice core in Antarctica, providing a record of the climate spanning … Continue reading Campaign to drill for the oldest continuous Antarctic ice core begins
