Strips of adhesive tape pressed against Britain's tallest stone row yielded 236 dated zircon grains, and their ages match a gritstone tor 18 kilometres west rather than the closer outcrop that the monument's official heritage listing still names as its source
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (867+ words) A mineral fingerprint taken without cutting the stones points the Devil's Arrows at Boroughbridge to Brimham Rocks, and a compatible fingerprint turns up in a battle cross probably carved in the fifteenth century. By The Long View · Edited by Chris…...
Beneath a field of loose rubble on Utah’s Mount Timpanogos, scientists mapped a hidden mass of ice up to 150 feet thick — enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools
3+ day, 19+ hour ago (765+ words) Massive ice deposits hidden beneath Utah mountain rubble could reshape understanding of water resources and climate patterns in the American West. By Natural History · Edited by Daniel Moran Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A field of loose rubble under the…...
We’re travelling around Queensland and the water in this tiny outback town smells rather strange — but the science of what’s happening 500 metres beneath our feet is fascinating
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (1425+ words) Published September 7, 2026 · How we edit We’re travelling around Queensland at the moment, and one of the things I love about travelling this way is that you never quite know what is going to make you curious. Sometimes it’s the landscape....
Archaeologists found a 1,200-year-old island in Fiji made almost entirely of discarded shellfish — created by generations of people processing food during the same centuries Maya cities flourished and Viking voyagers began crossing the North Atlantic
6+ day, 22+ hour ago (548+ words) Accumulating shellfish refuse transformed a Fijian shoreline into solid ground, revealing how ordinary people across the Pacific engineered their landscape one meal at a time. Published September 6, 2026 · How we edit A thousand years of lunch has been sitting off the…...
Sixty magnetic profiles flown across the Arctic's Gakkel Ridge in 1974 and 1975 classify about 68 percent of the seafloor they cross, from the present back to roughly 35 million years ago, as exhumed mantle rather than volcanic crust
1+ week, 3+ day ago (247+ words) The Gakkel Ridge is the slowest spreading mid ocean ridge on Earth, and the new reading suggests its melt reaches the surface in bursts rather than in a continuous supply. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 3, 2026 · How we edit…...
Scientists sent robots more than two kilometres beneath the Pacific and mapped enormous lava fields around an active volcano — revealing how molten rock once pooled, swelled beneath a hardened crust and burst outward to reshape the ocean floor
1+ week, 5+ day ago (684+ words) The ocean floor's violent geology remains largely hidden—until robotic expeditions reveal how molten rock sculpts the seafloor in ways that challenge what we thought we knew about underwater volcanism. Published August 31, 2026 · How we edit Two kilometres under the Pacific,…...
When an Antarctic iceberg the size of Chicago broke off in January 2025, scientists raced to look beneath it and found a thriving ecosystem of octopuses, sea spiders, and icefish that had been living in total darkness for potentially hundreds of years
2+ week, 11+ hour ago (1066+ words) After A-84 moved away, ROV SuBastian documented an old Antarctic seafloor community, while leaving its exact age, food sources and species inventory unresolved. By Natural History · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published August 29, 2026 · How we edit The important thing about iceberg A…...
In 2025, Antarctic drillers reached bedrock and pulled up ice that fell as snow 1.2 million years ago — roughly 50 percent further back than any ice core had ever reached, with the air of that vanished world still sealed inside the bubbles
2+ week, 1+ day ago (148+ words) For the first time, scientists have captured atmospheric samples from when our ancestors first walked upright, frozen in ice that predates any previous climate record by half a million years. By Lab Report · Edited by Nato Lagidze Published August 28, 2026 · How…...
Scientists drilling through Antarctic ice pulled up a core containing air bubbles trapped 800,000 years ago, before modern humans existed, before agriculture, before written language — and the ancient air was still sealed inside
2+ week, 1+ day ago (429+ words) Three kilometres under the East Antarctic plateau sits air that nobody has ever breathed. Published August 28, 2026 · How we edit Three kilometres under the East Antarctic plateau sits air that nobody has ever breathed. It fell as snow around 800,000 years ago,…...
If West Antarctica's ice sheet collapsed, the U.S. East Coast would gain more than the coast nearest the ice — because the ice sheet's gravity pulls the ocean toward it
3+ week, 5+ day ago (693+ words) By Science Blog Editorial Team Published August 17, 2026 · How we edit Most of us picture melting ice like water filling a bathtub: the level rises evenly, everywhere. That picture is wrong. The real rise is uneven, shaped by gravity, Earth’s rotation…...
