Europe · AntarcticaMicroplastics have been found in freshly fallen Antarctic snow for the first time. Researchers from New Zealand's University of Canterbury discovered tiny plastic particles in all 19 samples taken from sites along the Ross Ice Shelf. The findings represent "a serious threat to the Antarctic," according to the study.See the Story

US & Canada · AntarcticaNew research on Antarctica doubles the previous estimates of loss from ice shelves and details how the continent is changing. It is estimated that thinning and calving have reduced the Antarctic's ice shelves by 12 trillion tons since 1997, double the previous estimate. Antarctica holds 88 percent of the sea level potential of all the world's ice.See the Story

Tech · AntarcticaScientists from the ETH Zurich have concluded that Moon inherited some noble gases, such as neon and helium, deep from the Earth's mantle. The discovery was made by analysing lunar meteorites found in Antarctica. The findings are likely to help astronomers understand the process through which Earth, Moon, and other celestial bodies were formed.See the Story

NASA · AntarcticaAs Antarctica's slow rivers of ice hit the sea, they float, forming ice shelves. These shelves extend the glaciers into the ocean until they calve into icebergs.See the Story

Antarctica · AntarcticaScientists are flying research aircraft through the heart of Arctic storms this summer to better understand how weather systems are affecting polar sea ice. Arctic cyclones are the main type of hazardous weather that affect the polar environment during summer. They can impact sea ice movement and trigger rapid ice loss, effects that themselves influence the development of cyclones.See the Story

Conservation · AntarcticaDamoy, a small wooden hut on a rocky outcrop in Antarctica will take centre stage in UK Antarctic Heritage Trust conservation efforts this coming season. The hut in Dorian Bay, along with the glacial ‘skiway’ on Damoy Point, formed the ‘Damoy Point Air Transit Facility’, operated by BAS from 1975-1993. It provided shelter for operators and scientists travelling to and from Rothera (Station R) and other BAS sites, especially when ice prevented accSee the Story

Antarctica · AntarcticaThe Falkland Islands are frequently associated with globally significant seabird populations. Indeed, the inshore waters of the Islands have not long been designated as a Key Biodiversity Area (KBA) for this very reason.

Antarctica · Antarctica大家好，我是扶搖，歡迎和我一起探索未解之謎。我們在之前有關地心世界的節目中提到，二戰時，納粹曾兩度前往中國西藏尋找地下世界，所有的相關檔案被列為機密，直到2044年才有可能解密。雖然官方諱莫如深，但是民間調查卻如火如荼。那麼我們的地球真的是空心的嗎？納粹德國找到通往地下的神祕入口了嗎？我們今天的故事就要從一位俄羅斯記者尼古拉‧蘇博廷（Nikolai Subbotin）的調查說起。前蘇聯「獵戶座檔案」二戰時期，納粹德國對黑科技情有獨鍾，而德國當時的科研能力也出現井噴式爆發，研製出很多超出人們想像的新型武器，比如德國Ho-229試驗戰鬥／轟炸機，這是人類歷史上第一架無尾飛翼噴氣式戰鬥轟炸機。它的外形和性能即使在當今也相當前衛。還有著名的V2飛彈。它不僅是世界上第一種彈道飛彈，而且為人類探索太空奠定了初步基礎。後來美國的火箭、飛彈，都吸收了V2飛彈的技術。可以說V2飛彈在人類軍事武器史上有著至關重要的作用。納粹德國的這種超常的研發效率似乎已經不能用「戰爭催生科技」來解釋了。再加上當時納粹德國…See the Story

Antarctica · AntarcticaA team of researchers affiliated with multiple institutions in the U.S. has successfully pulled an ice core from Antarctica's Ong Valley that contains samples of Earth's atmosphere from up to 5 million years ago. In their paper published in The Cryosphere, the researchers explain why they chose to drill in the Ong Valley and what they hope to learn from their study of the ice core.See the Story
