Global warming is expanding the extent of sea ice around the Antarctic Peninsula in winter, faster than in another place on Earth, according to a study unveiled Sunday.
Russian researchers drilling to access a unique sub-glacial lake in Antarctica could recover the first sample of transparent ice during drilling operations last week, Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute reported.
Dangerous climate-change induced melting of Antartica's ice is happening even faster than previously thought by scientists, as a new study published in Nature Geoscience has found.
