During an Arctic reconnaissance flight on 14 June 2021, polar researchers made an unusual discovery: trapped in the white pack ice of Fram Strait, they found an iceberg covered with a layer of black r

Lack of atmospheric data makes it difficult to draw conclusions on the potential causes of the current sea-ice developments in the Arctic and Antarctic Wet snow and less sea ice in the vicinity of Sva

Antarctica: For the third consecutive winter, exceptionally low sea ice forms during the winter months; satellite data record the third smallest extent since measurements began. A new study provides c
