Web Story| A recent study has shown that plant cover in Antarctica has increased more than tenfold in the past few decades and is expanding rapidly.

Research reveals that Antarctica is experiencing significant greening, with vegetation increasing more than tenfold in 40 years due to climate change. This shift poses ecological risks, threatening native species as environment becomes more hospitable.

Antarctica’s ice shelves are melting, rapidly. A record 48 Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997, according to a new study published in the journal Scientific Advances.

Peter Fretwell's study reveals high risk of no chick survival in four of five known colonies due to premature sea ice loss before feathers are waterproofed.

Melosira arctica, a species of algae found in Arctic sea ice, has been found to contain microplastic particles in concentrations ten time

The loss of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet is becoming more devastating. Figures and monitoring show us that it is shrinking at an alarming rate. Now, a report noted that they are losing three times as much ice a year as they were 30 years ago.

The impact of climate change on Antarctica has become increasingly apparent, particularly during the new year when birds such as the polar skua, Antarctic petrel, and snow petrel usually nest and lay eggs.

The extent of Antarctic sea ice has registered a new historical minimum after it was reduced to 1.91 million square kilometres on February 13, according to data from the National Ice Data Center and Snow Protection Agency (NSIDC).
