ANTARCTICA

The lost Emperor Penguin that washed up on Peka Peka Beach in New Zealand in June was released finally into sub Antarctic waters in the Southern Ocean on Sunday.

Mount Erebus in Antarctica, the southernmost active volcano on Earth, has numerous ice caves beneath the multiple sheets of ice.

For the first time, NASA researchers have mapped the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

In a bid to track future sea-level increases from climate change, researchers at NASA have come out with the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.

The map, which will be beneficial for tracking future sea-level increase from climate change, provides the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica. It shows glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast, NASA said.

NASA-funded researchers have created the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica, giving critical insight into future sea levels.

NASA-funded researchers created the first complete map of the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica, showing glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast.

NASA has teamed up with researchers from the University of California and various space agencies to map the Antarctica ice flow.

The wayward Emperor Penguin "Happy Feet" is leaving New Zealand's Wellington Zoo and heading home to Antarctica at the end of the month.

A devastation of conifer forests about 250 million years ago was caused by tree-killing fungi whose growth was triggered by global climate change, says a University of California, Berkeley, study that warns it could happen again.

A powerful tsunami in Japan back in March sent waves more than 8,000 miles away that sliced off icebergs in Antarctica twice the surface area of Manhattan, NASA scientists say. Details of the finding, the first observation of its kind, can be found in an article published in the Journal of Glaciology.

Scientists have new evidence that life on Earth may have come from space after finding essential building blocks of DNA in meteorites discovered in Antarctica.

The Tsunami generated by the powerful earthquake that shook Japan on March 11 sent waves an entire hemisphere away that sliced off about 50 square miles of icebergs in Antarctica that were twice the surface area of Manhattan, NASA scientists say. Kelly Brunt, a cryosphere specialist at Goddard Space Flight Center, and her colleagues were able to link the calving of icebergs from the Sulzberger Ice Shelf in Antarctica following tsunami that sent waves 8,100 miles away.

NASA scientists were able to observe for the first time the powerful effects of an earthquake and tsunami combined, which broke off large icebergs a hemisphere away off the coast of Antarctica.

A new analysis suggests that DNA building blocks embedded in meteorites found in Antarctica originated in space, adding weight to the theory that the seeds of life on Earth originated in space.

Scientists believe that DNA building blocks embedded in meteorites found in Antarctica originated in space, bolstering the theory that meteorites crashing into earth may have carried some of the seeds of life.

An international team of scientists found string evidence that parts of North American and East Antarctica were once joined in a supercontinent called Rodinia about 1.1 billion years ago, long before Pangaea.

An international team of researchers has found the strongest evidence yet that parts of North America and Antarctica were connected 1.1 billion years ago, long before the supercontinent Pangaea formed.

Icebergs are twice the size of Manhattan

While most scientists have assumed that ice melt in Greenland was the main culprit of rising sea levels in the last Interglacial Period, a new study reveals that West Antarctica may be to blame.

Melting ice sheets of Greenland have been a cause of concern for researchers and climate change proponents, as previous studies on the ice sheet behaviors projected Greenland's ice less stable when compared to Antarctica's ice. But a recent study by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, suggests that we may have got it all wrong.
