A powerful magnitude 7.5 earthquake struck the South Atlantic’s remote Drake Passage late Thursday, prompting a tsunami advisory for Antarctica’s coast. The quake, southeast of Ushuaia, Argentina, caused no reported damage or casualties, though the region lies in an active seismic zone

New research reveals Antarctica is experiencing abrupt, accelerating changes: shrinking sea ice, melting ice shelves, weakening ocean currents, and destabilizing ice sheets. These shifts threaten wildlife, ecosystems, and global coastlines, with rising sea levels and climate disruption inevitable without urgent emission cuts

A new study reveals that bird endemism in Antarctica and the southern hemisphere is underestimated, highlighting their unique biodiversity. These regions host irreplaceable species with restricted ranges, making them especially vulnerable to climate change and deserving of greater conservation focus

Antarctic tourism surged to nearly 125,000 visitors in 2023–24, risking damage to fragile ecosystems. Experts warn numbers could hit 450,000 by 2034. Market-based tools like tourism taxes or visitor caps are proposed to manage growth and protect the continent's environment

A new study eveals how this hidden mountain chain emerged more than 500 million years ago when the supercontinent Gondwana formed from colliding tectonic plates. The findings offered fresh insight into how mountains and continents evolved over geological time

The heat insects need for metabolism and growth comes from the environment. This is partly how they are so abundant around the world

New research shows that reduced Antarctic sea ice in 2023 allowed heat to escape into the atmosphere, disrupting ocean circulation and increasing storm frequency, signalling potential long-term climate impacts

The initiative is being launched as part of the skill development programmes in space technologies, which will be soon rolled out by the university in collaboration with the ISRO-National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC)

Shifting geopolitics, climate crisis can impact this final frontier, which will have implications for the world

The iceberg broke away from the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf in 1986, calved and grounded on the Antarctic's Weddell Sea floor almost immediately.

Even in Antarctica, one of the most remote and desolate places on Earth, scientists say they are finding shattered temperature records and an increase in the size and number of wacky weather events

Antarctica isn't just for the penguins: it matters for all of us.

ESA's Aeolus spacecraft, renowned as the wind mission, skillfully executed a re-entry into Earth's atmosphere under the guidance of ESA mission officials after depleting its fuel. It successfully touched down in Antarctica on July 28.

The BM Birla Science Centre, Hyderabad, has introduced an innovative addition to its Space Museum – the Antarctica Experience Room.

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, is based on analysis of past underwater landslides in Antarctica

The pristine whiteness of the poles has fascinated artists for centuries, and now becomes sites of earth’s newest precarity

Bhupathiraju Anmish Varma who completed the challenge of climbing seven peaks in seven continents including Everest, recently made the ascent of Mt Vinson, which rises 4,892 meters (16,050 feet) above sea level

A report that is published every four years confirms that the ozone layer over Antarctica will be completely healed in the next four decades, i.e., by 2066.

On December 17, Anvitha scaled Mt. Vinson, the highest peak of Antarctica continent - an altitude of 4,892 m above sea level.

Hyderabad: From competing in Limca races to being the only person of Indian origin to win the half marathon in Antarctica, Mohan Ambati’s journey is a fascinating one. “It was a unique experience. It was like I was on a different planet, rather than a continent,” said Ambati, 53, a Hyderabadi settled in the United […]
