2+ day, 16+ hour ago   (286+ words) Gondwana is an ancient continent which scientists have now confirmed was a supercontinent that spread over 80 per cent of the landmass on Earth. They found 25,000 ancient rocks, and AI helped them determine that they belonged to Gondwana 500 million years ago....

3+ day, 11+ hour ago   (560+ words) The long-lost supercontinent Gondwana has finally been pieced together after 550 million years. For years, scientists have known that the ancient landmass included present-day South America, Africa, Arabia, Madagascar, India, Australia, and Antarctica. However, a new study suggests that Gondwana was…...

3+ day, 15+ hour ago   (373+ words) Between 2021 and 2023, Antarctica’s ice mass unexpectedly increased by about 695 billion metric tons. According to scientists, this is the largest increase in the last two decades, but the trend is likely temporary. The most noticeable increase occurred in East Antarctica and…...

4+ day, 5+ hour ago   (832+ words) A Nature study links an exceptional Antarctic mass gain to tropical warmth that redirected moisture towards East Antarctica, temporarily interrupting a longer-term decline. By Life Signs · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Antarctica’s ice sheet gained about…...

4+ day, 11+ hour ago   (320+ words) New research published by Nature has confirmed that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet gained an astounding 695 billion metric tons of ice between 2021 and 2023, despite continually rising global temperatures. In the modern age of climate change, an actual gain in ice…...

6+ day, 6+ hour ago   (753+ words) A persistent patch of unusually warm tropical ocean helped intensify snowfall over East Antarctica, contributing to a temporary net ice sheet mass gain of about 695 billion tons, according to a new study published in Nature on August 19. A Remarkable Antarctic…...

1+ week, 2+ hour ago   (365+ words) New data on the formation of Earth’s oldest and largest ice sheet may help solve a long-standing mystery surrounding the southernmost continent, according to the website “The Debrief.” About 34 million years ago, the Antarctic ice sheet began to form—during…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (110+ words) A tropical warming event helped drive record snowfall and a temporary 695-billion-ton ice gain in East Antarctica without reversing long-term Antarctic ice loss....

1+ week, 3+ day ago   (593+ words) Antarctica was blanketed in a massive ice sheet roughly 34 million years ago — while the Arctic remained largely ice-free until just five million years ago. That’s a 30-million-year gap, and it has puzzled climate scientists for decades. The world back then…...
