2. Arctic comes from the Greek word ‘arktikos’, which means bear The Arctic Ocean is named so after the Arctic region, which is the land surrounding the North Pole. The Arctic is derived from the Greek word ‘arktikos’, which means ‘near the bear’ or ‘northern’. It is important...
NASA scientist's say that they have estimated that Mars may once have had enough water to form a vast body the size of the Arctic Ocean surrounding its north pole, where only plains remain.

water formation regions surrounding Antarctica and/or by reduced respired carbon accumulation due to faster transport of SSW within the ocean (Supplementary Fig. 1). Reduced North Atlantic ventilation would increase deep Atlantic DIC via promoting accumulation of respired carbon due to a sluggish AMOC...

Surrounding peaks are sharp and severe, numerous 5000m teeth rising alongside Khan Tengri, steep and pronounced. The Tian Shan are serious business, and very few of the visible mountains would be easily ascended. The proximity of the Inylchek glacier is startling; it is always underfoot, and ...
During parts of the year where ocean thermal forcing offshore of Storisstraumen was weak (<-1° C), there was little to no frontal ablation to balance the ice discharge from the glacier interior, and the glacier advanced into the surrounding ocean (Fig. 2a). Calving and terminus melting ...
provides a source of buoyancy that can force an overturning circulation along the ice shelf base30. This buoyant plume increases its volume flux through entrainment of the surrounding seawater, and the oceanic heat entrained into the plume promotes the melting at the ice-ocean interface30. As sugg...
