Arctic Ocean

Scientists have uncovered a hidden world 3.6 kilometres beneath the Greenland Sea, where methane mounds and life thrive in complete darkness. The discovery could transform climate science and understanding of extreme ecosystems on Earth.

Meet the 400-year-old greenland shark: The oldest living vertebrate still alive in Atlantic waters

The Greenland shark, a rarely seen deep-sea dweller, has shocked scientists with its extreme lifespan. One female was found to be nearly 400 years old, making it the longest-living vertebrate ever recorded.

NASA's IceNode Robots study Antarctica's melting ice to predict sea level rise

The IceNode project represents a major leap forward in our ability to measure ice melt in some of the hardest-to-reach places on Earth. With further testing and development, this fleet of autonomous robots could provide scientists with the valuable data needed to predict how melting ice will impact global sea levels in the coming decades.

Tentacles of Climate Change spreading to Arctic!

Since 1966, Arctic land covered by snow is down by 18 percent. Nearly all glaciers and ice caps in the Arctic have shrunk in the last 100 years. The Arctic is warming like never before. Take a look at this scientific expedition to find out if the tentacles of climate change are spreading to the rooftop of the world.

Arctic ice melts to record low: US researchers

The sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has melted to its smallest ever level in the latest dramatic sign of the long-term impact of global warming, US researchers said today.

Arctic sea ice shrinks to record low, by some estimates

The area of ice in the Arctic Ocean has thawed to a record low, surpassing the previous 2007 minimum in a sign of climate change transforming the region, according to some scientific estimates.
