Antarctic Sediment Cores Reveal Century-Long Impact of Whaling on Climate
An international team of researchers collected over 40 sediment cores from the Antarctic seabed in early 2025 to study the impact of a century of industrial whaling on the Antarctic ecosystem and global climate. The analysis of these samples will provide insights into past environmental conditions, ...

Antarctic Penguin Guano Mitigates Climate Change by Enhancing Cloud Formation
A study in Nature reveals that Adélie penguin guano at Marambio Base, Antarctica, releases ammonia, which accelerates cloud formation by increasing aerosol production, potentially mitigating climate change; ammonia levels reached 13.5 parts per billion when wind blew from the colony, remaining 100 t...

Record Low Sea Ice Extent and Record High Temperatures in February 2025
February 2025 witnessed record low sea ice extent around both poles, with temperatures nearly matching last year's record high; this follows two years of record or near-record temperatures, despite the end of El Niño, exceeding the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

Antarctic Ice Melt to Weaken Ocean Current by 20% by 2050
Melting Antarctic ice sheets will weaken the world's strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), by 20% by 2050, leading to increased climate variability, accelerated warming, and a greater risk of invasive species reaching Antarctica.

Record Low Global Sea Ice Extent in February 2025
In February 2025, global sea ice extent fell to a record low, with Arctic sea ice 8% below average and Antarctic sea ice 26% below average, driven by rising temperatures from planet-heating pollutants and a strong Arctic warming event.
