Melting Antarctic ice is slowing Earth's strongest ocean current, according to a new study. The influx of cold meltwater could slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current by up to 20% by 2050, researchers ...

Antarctic ice loss increased rapidly in past climates when oceans warmed first, raising risks for modern coastlines.

The Antarctic region is one of the most pristine wildernesses left on the planet. However, it is facing a number of threats, such as overfishing, pollution and climate change. WWF is working in this ...

It is deep winter in Antarctica, the time of year that the continent is shrouded in darkness and surrounded by millions of square miles of frozen ocean. But this year there is a lot less sea ice than ...
