The beautiful emperor penguins reside in Antarctica’s freezing icy and tundra seas. But sadly we won’t see this tallest penguin species in the region after the next 30 to 40 years. The reason for this is the increasingly changing climatic conditions that are rapidly melting
What would be your reaction if the coldest place on the planet suddenly starts growing hotter? I would be frightened, wouldn’t you? Reportedly, Antarctica has witnessed its worst heatwave till date last month; and it has given the world a big reason to worry about.
The Third Pole is melting at an accelerated pace, says a study led by scientists at the University of Leeds. The Himalayan region is often referred to as the “Third Pole” as they are known to have the third-largest amount of glacier ice after Antarctica
Climate change is bad news for every single entity on this planet from wildlife to ice levels. As per the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Arctic Report Card, Arctic sea ice witnessed its lowest recorded level in the month of April. In its sixteenth
Climate change has always been an alarming issue of all time but in recent years, cases of the climate crisis have risen drastically. For almost more than a decade, Arctic ice has been declining at a rapid pace. Surprisingly, scientists have found a link between
Blankets are usually used in winters in order to keep its user warm, it basically traps the heat, which is otherwise lost through convection. However, a ski resort in the Swiss Alps in Switzerland is using blankets to cover the glaciers to protect them from
With the rising global temperatures, the frozen lands are melting at a faster pace than ever before. A study has indicated that the Greenland Ice Sheet is losing ice mass at an alarming rate amid heat and rain. Moreover, enough ice has melted toward the
Global warming has posed severe threats to planet’s ice masses. With Siberian heatwaves, the Arctic is bearing the brunt of climate change as much as any region on earth. The “Last Ice Area” of Arctic, where summer sea ice survives the longest and acts as
Once an enormous Antarctic iceberg, the infamous A68 iceberg melts away into the Atlantic Ocean after nearly four years of journey. Dubbed the world’s largest iceberg, the iceberg was headed to the South Atlantic island oasis, threatening life there, after it broke off from Antarctica’s
When in December last year, one of the largest icebergs, known as A68a, approached the South Atlantic Island as a single block of over 4,000 square kilometers, the experts feared it might destroy the local ecosystems. But then it began breaking into enormous pieces that
