The dramatic loss of sea ice around Antarctica has occurred with the re-emergence of the Maud Rise polynya in the Weddell Sea ...

A sudden salinity spike in the Southern Ocean is accelerating Antarctic ice loss and triggering a dangerous climate feedback ...

In recent years, the Southern Ocean has undergone one of the most dramatic environmental shifts observed anywhere on Earth.

In contrast to the Arctic, sea ice around the Antarctic had been increasing in extent since the 1970s, but then rapidly decreased to record low levels, with the greatest decline in the Weddell Sea.

The extent of the summer sea ice in the Weddell Sea in Antarctica has decreased by one million square kilometres – roughly twice the size of Spain – in just the last five years, ...

Researchers have discovered a dramatic and unexpected shift in the Southern Ocean, with surface water salinity rising and sea ...

Sea ice in the Weddell Sea and along the coasts of the Bellingshausen Sea, Wilkes Land and Amery Land is resisting massive melting This graph shows daily Antarctic sea ice volume - not extent ...

A new study shows that melting sea ice due to increasing temperatures is leading to a "concerning" and severe decline in ...

And in September, researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported the lowest winter maximum extent of Antarctic sea ice. It was found to be nearly 400,000 square miles below the ...
