Everyone knows Antarctica is cold and icy, but what's underneath the ice has been a mystery. Scientists used six decades' worth of technology to take a peek.

For all of human history, Antarctica has been ice-covered and desolate. Now, a new model shows the hidden continent beneath that ice.

Bedmap3 is the most fine-grain map to date of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice. Scientists created it using more than 60 years' worth of data from satellites, ships and dog-drawn sleds.

Scientists have unveiled the most detailed map of Antarctica without ice, revealing its hidden mountains, canyons, and geological features. The new Bedmap3 dataset helps researchers understand ice ...

Have you ever wondered what Antarctica might look like without ice? Now, a new map released this week gives us a clear view of the continent as if its massive sheet of ice has been removed ...

A newborn iceberg called A-84 looks like a tiny ice cube as it tumbles along the Antarctic Peninsula in a fascinating new animation from NASA Earth Observatory.

Antarctica's Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf may be under threat due to relatively warm water from the deep sea flowing towards the shelf. Is climate change to blame?

Engineers who specialize in building NASA spacecraft to explore distant worlds are designing a fleet of underwater robot probes to measure how rapidly climate change ...

A large iceberg (380 km2), about the size of the Isle of Wight, has broken off the 150m-thick Brunt Ice Shelf. It broke off after a crack suddenly appeared in the ice shelf a few weeks ago. The ...
