New BBC series Seven Worlds, One Planet is the newest nature series produced by the BBC and hosted by David Attenborough. it has a primarily conservative message and features some of the strangest animals from sea spiders to starfishes the size of dinner plates.

Recent observations carried out by NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) revealed that the hole in the ozone layer has reached its smallest size ever since its discovery in 1982.

An Australian Antarctic Division image shows a “loose tooth” on the Amery Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica

The researchers were reconstructing the complex geology of the Mediterranean when the hidden continent of the size of Greenland was discovered.

UFO enthusiasts claimed that a satellite image from Google Earth showed a giant alien face in Antarctica. Many of them claimed that it was made by an ancient alien race that lived in Antarctica.

Researchers recently came across traces of highly radioactive iron while studying the fallen snow in Antarctica. According to the researchers, these traces are most likely remnants of a supernova.

Saving New York City and other coastal areas from sea level rise caused by global warming could involve generating trillions of tons of additional snowfall by pumping ocean water onto glaciers and distributing the snow over West Africa using snow cannons.

These gaps, known as polynyas, are common across Antarctica. Polynyas, which is Russian for “hole in the ice” can form either on shores or further inland.

Scientists at NASA are concerned about an iceberg twice the size of Manhattan breaking off from Antarctica's Brunt Ice Shelf and into the Atlantic Ocean, making it the biggest iceberg to break off of the ice shelf since 1915.

Scientists believe this could be as cold as it can get on the surface of Earth.

Scherer and a team of researchers from Columbia University and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany worked separately to delve into the history of Antarctica, but surprisingly, they all came to the same conclusion.

18 years ago, B-15 was nearly as big as the US state of Connecticut, covering 11,000 square kilometers.

This is one of the first detailed reports that reveal the true scale of plastic pollution in the Antarctic waters.

Two emperor penguins in Antarctica captured a short video of themselves after coming across a camera left on the ice by a human.

The polar regions, which were once worst affected, have seen significant recovery of the ozone layer since the 1990s, but that isn’t the case with most of the rest of the planet.

Greenpeace International took a submarine to the floor of the Antarctic Ocean to see why it should be protected.

Diluvicursor pickeringi lived 113 million years ago in the great rift valley that existed at the time between present-day Australia and Antarctica.

The net effect of the phenomenon is a massive loss of ice from Antarctica, even though the height of many ice shelves increases, a study found.

The only creatures found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys are moving to counter warming climate which started in 2001.

A team of researchers from Argentina discovered the remains of a 150-million-year-old plesiosaur.

Scientists have found portions of the huge block of ice are very susceptible to our warming oceans and atmosphere which could in turn raise sea levels across the globe by 53 meters. This would spell disaster to most coastal cities that would certainly go underwater if that were to happen.
