Antarctica’s ice sheet is the largest mass of ice on Earth, and about half the ice sheet is more than 5 kilometers (3 miles) from any bed topography measurement. This means that what lies beneath is ...

The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has released an interactive map of Antarctica. It combines information on coastlines and contours and is available to everyone from tourists to researchers to the ...

What comes to mind when you think of Antarctica? Probably snow and ice. But a group of international scientists are shaking up what we think we know about the continent after unveiling a new, very ...

Just when scientists thought they'd mapped out some of the lowest, deepest land found on Earth, a brand new map has changed everything. A new NASA creation, the BedMachine Antarctica map, has combined ...

Dec. 12 (UPI) --Scientists have successfully mapped the topography of the land beneath Antarctica's ice sheet at high resolution by combining radar observations with ice volume and flow velocity data.

Bedmap3 reveals new insights into the topography of Antarctica. Credit: Scientific Data (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41597-025-04672-y The most detailed map yet of the landscape beneath Antarctica's ice ...

Research published recently in Nature Geoscience details the findings of the most accurate topographical map of Antarctica that we have to date. The map has been dubbed BedMachine and holds critical ...

Scientists using satellite data have now created the most detailed maps ever produced of the vast snow-covered Antarctic continent. The maps reveal unprecedented views of surface features that provide ...

Antarctica, often regarded as the planet’s last true wilderness, harbours unique ecosystems that support extraordinary biodiversity and contribute to global diversity and environmental stability.

Antarctica’s peculiar green snow is spreading, according to researchers who have created the first large-scale map of microscopic algae growing on the chilly, southernmost continent. As the climate ...

As climate change slowly strips Antarctica of its glistening white ice, the frozen continent is getting more and more green. New NASA imaged reveal how vegetation cover across the Antarctic Peninsula ...

Two new satellite images reveal that Earth's ice melt is noticeable from space. The new maps -- published Thursday as part of a study in the journal Science -- vividly depict 16 years of ice loss in ...
