Currently, there are 70 permanent research stations scattered across Antarctica, representing 29 countries from every continent.

This southernmost discovery of amber offers new insights into Cretaceous forests near the South Pole.

Department of Posts has opened a second branch of the post office at the Bharati research station in Antarctica.

The viral video confused many social media users and left the guessing whether the video was shot on a train or was it because of the storm that it appeared so.

The changes in the Venturi Antarctica EV (a zero-emission vehicle) had to be made for it to operate in the rising temperature of the South Pole increasing because of Global Warming.

Due to global warming, Antarctica is constantly suffering losses. The melting of the ice sheet continues here. Now the news of breaking of a huge mountain of ice has come to light in Antarctica

This segment of DNA brings you information related to today's history.

In Antarctica, which is considered to be the coldest area in the world, the temperature has now reached 40 degrees celsius above normal. Scientists are considering these conditions of Antarctica as very worrying.

While the Hi Fly Airbus A340 landed in Antarctica back on November 2, the operator has now shared some breathtaking images of its arrival on the blue ice runway.

Earlier, the record temperature was logged on March 24, 2015 for the Antarctic continent at 17.5 degrees Celsius (63.5 degrees Fahrenheit). The report was established after an extensive review conducted by the WMO's Weather and Climate Extremes Archive on the weather situation in Antarctica.

Antarctica's ice sheet is heating up rapidly. Due to this, large icebergs are melting. Now a giant ice floe has broken off the coast of Antarctica. According to photos taken from satellites and planes, it is the largest iceberg in the world.

The iceberg was spotted by the British Antarctic Survey and confirmed from the US National Ice Center using Copernicus Sentinel-1 imagery The enormity of the berg makes it the largest in the world, snatching first place from the A-23A iceberg (approximately 3880 sq km in size)

The discovery was made by scientists at the British Antarctic Survey The creatures were found buried under the Filchner-Ronne ice shelf The animals were found about 160 miles from the open sea

The discovery has left scientists perplexed and led to an investigation into the seven-mile-long jagged structure. Some speculated the shape could've been formed due to the crash landing of an object which then slid across the ice. However, the claim has not been validated yet. 

Antarctica was previously free from COVID-19. Health and army officials scrambled to clear out and quarantine staff from a remote research station surrounded by ocean and icebergs.

The US Air Force flight left on Monday from the gateway city of Christchurch carrying 106 passengers and crew, said Tony German, the US Antarctic programme's representative in New Zealand He said the new arrivals will start getting ready for the summer and swap out with skeleton crews who have spent the Southern Hemisphere winter in Antarctica The flight was delayed for three weeks by big storms, resulting in an extended six-week quarantine for those aboard.

Antarctica conjures images of an unbroken white wilderness but blooms of algae are giving parts of the frozen continent an increasingly green tinge.

In a significant breakthrough, a team of researchers have succeeded in finding  "a fountain of high-energy particles erupting from the ice" in Antarctica which according to the researchers could be proof of a parallel universe. ANITA succeeded in detecting the 'fountain' of high-energy particles in 2006 and 2014 but the researchers initially thought them as background noise or glitches.

A team of researchers have claimed that "a fountain of high-energy particles erupting from the ice" in Antarctica may be proof of a parallel universe.
