Even if you could get there, you're not getting that gold.
It's the "finest wooden shipwreck I've ever seen," one marine archaeologist commented.
As the Antarctic continues to heat and melt, these processes can make it worse.
T-shirt weather in the Antarctic.
Currently, sea levels are 20 cm (almost 8 inches) above pre-industrial levels.
"Our results show a clear link in the timing of animal recovery and the recovery of Earth systems."
It's a great way to spend an afternoon or a day off.
Minke whales are grossly understudied, but researchers hope to fix that.
Something similar might happen again soon.
Next time you go to Antarctica, pack your shorts.
The world has spoken and the vote has been cast: people want to name the new British Antarctic research ship “Boaty McBoatface”
British researchers have just made a stunning discovery - the biggest canyon may not be in the US or China but under Antarctic ice.

We’ve already written about the damage done to the Antarctic ice sheet, and how sadly, its collapse seems irreversible. A new study has analyzed some of the consequences of that collapse – it could devastate global food supply, drowning vast areas of crop lands across the Middle East and Asia. The report urges the Obama administration […]
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet , a massive system of glaciers, is collapsing as a result of glacier melting (global warming). The process is most likely irreversible and cause a global sea lever rise of at least 10 feet, a pair of independent studies conclude. A warmer planet gives way to rising oceans Previously, the two-mile-thick […]
The hole in the ozone layer is the second smallest in twenty years, data from NASA and NOAA shows, but it’s not all good news. In fact, it could signal things taking a turn for the worst. Warmer air temperatures high above the Antarctic led to the hole shrinking, now covering an area of about […]
