Parts of icy Antarctica are turning green with plant life as the region is gripped by extreme heat events, new research shows, sparking concerns about the changing landscape on this vast continent.
Antarctica is the coldest, driest continent on Earth, and has the highest average elevation. [1] Antarctica's dryness means the air contains little water vapor and conducts heat poorly. [26] The Southern Ocean surrounding the continent is far more effective at absorbing heat than any other ocean. [27]
Antarctica is actually gaining ice mass thanks to snow and instead of driving sea level rise, it may actually be slowing it down. NASA says Antarctic ice may be growing after all Skip to main content
Antarctica is the largest ice desert in the world. Some 98% of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet , the world's largest ice sheet and also its largest reservoir of fresh water . Averaging at least 1.6 km thick, the ice is so massive that it has depressed the continental bedrock in some areas more than 2.5 km below sea level ...
Lake Vostok (Russian: озеро Восток, romanized: ozero Vostok) is the largest of Antarctica's 675 known [3] subglacial lakes.Lake Vostok is located at the southern Pole of Cold, beneath Russia's Vostok Station under the surface of the central East Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is at 3,488 m (11,444 ft) above mean sea level.
The image shows the "sea smoke" pluming around Pine Island glacier, which, along with neighboring Thwaites glacier, is one of the main pathways for ice flowing from the west Antarctic ice sheet to ...
ANITA flew four times between 2006 and 2016 and set the most competitive limits on the ultrahigh-energy diffuse neutrino flux above several tens of exa-electronvolt (EeV). ). In addition to its constraints on the diffuse neutrino flux, each ANITA flight has observed dozens of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays via the geomagnetic radio emission from cosmic-ray-induced extensive air showers which ...
