WELLINGTON, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- The sea ice around a massive Adelie penguin colony in Antarctica has melted early this year, according to a group of New Zealand scientists based there on Saturday. Cape Bird on the Antarctic peninsula is home to 30,000 breeding pairs of Adelie penguins that...
Helen Fricker, a glaciologist (冰川学家) in California, agrees. “We need to monitor the entire Antarctica and we just can’t do that without international cooperation.” 答案 unassailable 结果二 题目 Antarctica(南极洲)'s melting ice, which has caused global sea levels to rise by at least...
In Antarctica (南极洲), about 12.3 million km² of its area are covered with ice. At present, this continent holds about 26.5 million km² of ice. However, nearly one-fifth of the total Antarctic ice sheet (冰盖) surface had experienced observable melting (融化) during the past two de...
A“crater” in Antarctica once thought to be the work of a meteorite impact is actually the result of ice melt, new research finds. The hole, which is in the Roi Baudouin ice shelf in East Antarctica, is a collapsed lake — a cavity formed when a lake of meltwater drained — with a...
The article discusses a study by a team of scientists from the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and published in the periodical "Nature Geoscience" which revealed that expansion of sea ice in Antarctica may be the result of the melting of its ice shelves....

Antarctica(南极洲)’s melting ice, which has caused global se a levels to rise by at least 13.8 millimeters over the past 40 years, was thought to primarily come from the unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet(WAIS). Now, scientists have found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS)—considere...
BERLIN, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Within this century, ice melting in the Antarctic alone could cause the global sea level to rise up to three times as much as it did in the entire last century, the Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research (PIK) announced on Friday. ...
In the "the longest-ever assessment" ofAntarctica's ice mass, scientists are reporting a rapid increase in melting — a six-fold increase in yearly Antarctic ice mass loss between 1979 and 2017. Thestudy, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, was a collabora...
“With the big ice sheet on Antarctica like we have today, the predominant winds are known as katabatic winds, and these go from the land to the sea,” Bradshaw told CNN. “They originate from the ice sheet where it is very high, very cold and very dry – in fact Antarctica receives...
