For the first time, amber fragments have been recovered from Antarctica, or, to be more specific, from an offshore ...

As such, it's expected that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current will push it towards the South Atlantic. This pattern of self-destruction is typical for icebergs from the Weddell Sea region.

Hunted nearly to extinction during 20th century whaling, the Antarctic blue whale, the world's largest animal, went from a ...

This heavy salty water is carried by a deep ocean current called the Atlantic conveyor all the way down to the south Atlantic. Here it becomes part of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current ...

"The Antarctic Circumpolar Current 'feels' the seafloor and the mountains in its path, and where it encounters barriers like ridges or seamounts, 'wiggles' are created in the water flow that form ...

Not only is it heating up, but Antarctica's circumpolar current is "warming more rapidly than the global ocean as a whole." Antarctica's climate change issues were recently highlighted by a new ...

This includes the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the strongest ocean current on the planet, and its associated strong westerly surface winds, icy air and ocean temperatures. This means life in ...

Once the berg crosses over this ridge, it will enter the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, one of the most powerful movements of water on the planet. And this should push A23a, aided by strong ...

The Southern Ocean, which circles the globe without being blocked by land, is home to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the longest of the world's ocean currents. Also known as the "channel ...

Caption This image shows the path of the Kelvin waves that interact with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and push warmer waters under the ice shelves of the West Antarctic Peninsula. These waves ...

and will assess impacts on key phenomena such as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and North Atlantic Overturning Circulation. Results from the project will have implications for both projections of ...
