Rare footage has been capture of giant Pacific sleeper sharks feeding on the ocean floor. Scientists observed the fascinating ...

For decades, scientists believed the Arctic Ocean was sealed under a massive slab of ice during the coldest ice ages — but new research proves otherwise. Sediment samples from the seafloor, paired ...

For years, scientists have debated whether a giant thick ice shelf once covered the entire Arctic Ocean during the coldest ...

Even during the coldest 750,000 years, the Arctic Ocean had open water and sustained life thanks to seasonal sea ice. “Our ...

Summer sea ice in the Arctic Ocean might be a thing of the past by the 2030s, no matter what we do to curb emissions of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming, an international study ...

The claim: April and May data shows Arctic sea ice isn't declining. A Facebook post links to an article with a graph that purportedly shows Arctic sea ice extent data for mid-April through mid-May ...

The Arctic could be free of sea ice roughly a decade earlier than projected, scientists warn – another clear sign the climate crisis is happening faster than expected as the world continues to ...

Arctic temperatures spiked 36 degrees Fahrenheit, or 20 Celsius, above normal. By the end of the month, sea ice was at its lowest level ever recorded for February.

As Arctic sea ice begins melting out fully in summer, the frequency of strong El Niños could increase by 35% by century's end, causing extreme weather events to increase, says recent modeling study.

The loss of sea ice can disrupt the Arctic ecosystem in a number of ways, the study outlines. Arctic animals, like polar bears and seals, could face challenges as they rely on ice for their survival.

Arctic sea ice declined dramatically in 2007 and has never recovered. New research suggests the loss was a fundamental change unlikely to be reversed this century, if ever — perhaps proof of the ...

Researchers are warning that Arctic Ocean sea ice is melting at an even faster pace than previously thought — and the region could experience its first ice-free conditions sometime before the 2030s.
