A new species of giant sea lizard (mosasaur), discovered in 66-million-year-old rocks of Antarctica, is now the largest known top marine predator from this continent (about 33 feet long).
Areas of the Arctic play a larger role than previously thought in the global nitrogen cycle—the process responsible for keeping a critical element necessary for life flowing between the atmosphere, the land and oceans.
The study findings will help improve predictions about global sea level rise.
Overall, Antarctica’s sea ice has been growing, not shrinking
Melting ice shelves in Antarctica are weakening global ocean currents.
It’s just a matter of time.
Sea-ice bacteria generate a potent neurotoxin.
