Why is this 560-million-year-old fossil so rare?
1+ day, 6+ hour ago (635+ words) One of the oldest known 3D animal fossils dating back 560 million years has been found in a sheep field. The astonishing discovery of the creature that looked like a "goo-filled bag" when it was alive was made in northern Norway. Scientists…...
Long-lost supercontinent Gondwana pieced together after 550m years
3+ day, 9+ 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…...
Between July 2021 and April 2023, Antarctica gained about 695 billion tonnes of ice-sheet mass—the largest 22-month increase in the satellite-gravity record—and a Nature study traces the exceptional East Antarctic snowfall to persistent warming in the tropical western Pacific and eastern Indian Ocean, thousands of kilometres away.
4+ day, 2+ 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…...
Why Antarctica Gained Ice as Glaciers Melted Globally
4+ day, 8+ 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…...
Ozone recovery is changing life in Antarctica in an unexpected way
5+ day, 6+ hour ago (612+ words) Ozone recovery is reducing UV radiation in Antarctica, but new research suggests the change could weaken tundra carbon uptake in unexpected ways. The recovery of Antarctica’s ozone layer counts as one of the genuine environmental success stories of the past…...
New data reveals the reason Antarctica froze millions of years ago
1+ week, 16+ min 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…...
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…...
A Strange Fossilized Egg Has Surfaced from the Frozen Depths of Antarctica
2+ week, 3+ day ago (244+ words) Popular Mechanics Antarctica’s Strange Fossilized Egg A mysterious fossil from Antarctica has been identified as the largest soft-shelled egg ever discovered—and the second-largest known egg of any kind. A Record-Breaking Ancient Egg About 68 million years ago, near the end…...
Antarctica’s Ice Loss Slowed- Scientists Traced the Cause to the Tropics
3+ week, 1+ day ago (610+ words) Antarctica has been losing enormous amounts of ice for decades, adding water to the oceans and making the continent one of the biggest uncertainties in future sea-level projections. Something unusual happened between 2021 and 2023, i.e. the Antarctic Ice Sheet briefly gained enough…...
