This breakthrough could help predict how quickly the frozen continent will melt and what that means for coastal cities worldwide.
🚀 InnovationScientists used satellite images to create the most detailed map ever of Antarctica's hidden landscape buried under 3 miles of ice. The breakthrough reveals ancient valleys and channels that could help predict future sea levels without expensive ground expeditions.
🚀 InnovationResearchers have created the most detailed map ever of Antarctica's hidden landscape beneath the ice, revealing tens of thousands of previously unknown hills and ridges. The breakthrough could help predict how quickly the frozen continent will melt and impact sea levels worldwide.
🌍 Planet WinsFive South African high school students spent a week camping in Antarctica's Deep Field, enduring minus 25-degree nights and running half-marathons on ice. The life-changing expedition is transforming teenagers into the environmental problem-solvers Africa needs.
🚀 InnovationNorway's northernmost airport just launched a pilot project that could eliminate a fifth of its parent company's total emissions using fuel made from farm waste. If successful, the system will provide 100% of the airport's power and heat using liquefied biogas.
🌐 Global NewsCanadian researchers have discovered a new species of ancient rhinoceros that roamed the High Arctic 23 million years ago, challenging what we know about how animals spread across continents. The nearly complete fossil skeleton is the northernmost rhino ever found and reveals these creatures were far more adventurous than we imagined.
🌍 Planet WinsActor Will Smith just trekked across the South Pole's deadly cold to spotlight the scientists making extraordinary sacrifices for climate research. The National Geographic series reveals the human stories behind one of Earth's most extreme science missions.
🌍 Planet WinsScientists just opened the world's first ice archive in Antarctica, storing ancient glacier samples in a natural deep freeze before they melt away forever. The snow cave will preserve climate records from vanishing glaciers for hundreds of years.
🌍 Planet WinsScientists just stored the first ancient ice cores in a frozen Antarctic sanctuary, protecting climate records from melting Alpine glaciers for future generations. The natural ice cave will safeguard thousands of years of atmospheric history as mountain glaciers disappear worldwide.
🚀 InnovationScientists built a virtual copy of Svalbard's coastlines to help restoration teams fight erosion and climate change in the fastest-warming region on Earth. The interactive tool makes complex data accessible to anyone working to protect Arctic shores.
Greenland's unique blend of endless summer daylight, floating icebergs, and quiet coastal towns is attracting travelers seeking nature's gentler spectacles. The self-governing island offers something increasingly rare: a place where patience matters more than expectation.
A NASA astronaut aboard the International Space Station has photographed the magnificent iceberg A-23A, glowing brilliant blue against the ocean. The nearly 40-year-old Antarctic giant is teaching scientists invaluable lessons about our planet's ice systems as it nears the end of its remarkable journey.
