Fancy Gyms Aren’t Always Best—Here’s Why-
Melting ice on part of Antarctica has revealed traces of an ancient civilization, says William James Veall. Veall is an independent researcher who uses a remote sensing satellite to look for sites of potential archaeological interest. He studied engineering at Basingstoke and Southampton Colleges of Technology and archaeology at the University of Southampton in the […] -
Antarctica may lack a native human population, but it is hardly a lifeless place. Penguins alone are a bunch of fun, and this viral video shows that they are also fun to watch. Now I know why they keep making movies about these tuxedo birds! And they say that penguins can’t fly! There is so much […]

Thousands of pristine and blue lakes have appeared in the eastern portion of Antarctica, scientists have confirmed. According to a new study published in the Geophysical Research Letters, “supraglacial lakes,” which consist of meltwater, are formed via the warmth of summer as it heats the tops of glaciers. This phenomenon was observed in Greenland. Nearly […]

A video has surfaced showing two blue whales—a mother and calf—swimming in the Southern Ocean by Antarctica. The footage was captured by a drone operated by animal conservation group Sea Shepherd, according to the Australia Broadcasting Corporation. “Filming this endangered blue whale and her calf with a drone was unbelievable,” the drone’s pilot, Gavin Garrison, […]

Antarctica is a cold, largely barren place, but researchers report they have come upon a previously unknown place on the frozen continent that may be teeming with life.
-
Ask people what they know about Antarctica and they usually mention cold, snow and ice. In fact, there’s so much ice on Antarctica that if it all melted into the ocean, average sea level around the entire world would rise about 200 feet, roughly the height of a 20-story building. Could this happen? There’s evidence […]

Cornell University researchers found traces of bubonic plague uptown, organisms only previously seen in Antarctica on the south side and more.
-
The water below the Antarctic ice sheet is as cold and dark as ever, but it turns out it’s not as desolate as scientists thought. There’s a whole ecosystem down there.
-
A matter of inches might help solve a riddle scientists have been working on for years: why rising ocean levels don't match ice melt.

– Frank Hurley, photographer on Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endeavor Those words certainly ring true for me. As an older woman traveling alone to such a distant place, I knew that I would have to start planning well in advance and explore all my options before booking passage. While I didn’t realize it at the […]
