(Reuters) -Sea ice that packs the ocean around Antarctica hit record low levels this winter, the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said on Monday, adding to scientists' fears that the ...
A23a is a large tabular iceberg which calved from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986. It was stuck on the sea bed for many years but then started moving in 2020. As of January 2025, its area is about 3,500 square kilometres (1,400 sq mi), which makes it the current largest iceberg in the world.

The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth and had a moment magnitude of 8.1, with its epicentre being located roughly 250 km (155 mi) south of the boundary between the Antarctic and Australian plates. [8] The earthquake ruptured in a sinistral (left lateral) strike-slip manner, oriented east–west for a length of roughly 200 km (124 mi). The ...
The Antarctic sea ice cover is highly seasonal, with very little ice in the austral summer, expanding to an area roughly equal to that of Antarctica in winter.It peaks (~18 × 10^6 km 2) during September (comparable to the surface area of Pluto), which marks the end of austral winter, and retreats to a minimum (~3 × 10^6 km 2) in February.
By RYAN GORMAN Antarctic sea ice has hit a new record maximum, but scientists say this is even more proof of global warming. Satellite imagery from last month shows the ice shelf surrounding the ...
