The rare partial solar eclipse stunned skywatchers on Apirl 30. Here's a look at their images.

It's the moment skywatchers have been waiting for: The year's first solar eclipse has begun.

A partial solar eclipse occurs today (April 30), beginning in the far southeastern Pacific Ocean near the coast of Antarctica. Here's how to catch the event today, even if you're outside the eclipse's path.

ECHO and the penguins seem to be getting along, researchers say.

The swarm of 85,000 earthquakes that struck Antarctica was the strongest seismic outburst ever recorded there.

Bourne and Carpenter, who have been together for 20 years, got married aboard the ship with 30 crew members. They had the coordinates engraved into their wedding rings.

Astronomer Jay Pasachoff will talk about his December 2021 eclipse-chasing expedition to Antarctica tomorrow (April 23) at 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT).

Antarctic sea-ice extent dropped to a record low in the satellite data in February, but it's likely due to natural variation.

One geoscientist says it's "a Pacific Northwest 2021 heat wave kind of event. Never supposed to happen."

An expedition went where few have ever gone to locate the remnants of a ship that become trapped in the ice 106 years ago, dashing the famed explorer's ambitious mission to cross Antarctica.

Endurance belonged to Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led a crew of 27-men and 69 dogs who attempted to traverse the continent via the South Pole and establish a base on the coast of the Weddell Sea.

State-of-the-art vessels can give visitors access to little-visited areas and bring them closer to glaciers and wildlife.

Arctic communities have long been plagued by soot that drives snow melt and respiratory disease. Now, humans are making their mark in Antarctica.

An artificial intelligence program suggests there may be hundreds of thousands of meteorites left for scientists to discover in Antarctica and reveals what may be the most likely places to unearth them.

Knowing if high-energy neutrinos and FRBs came from the same place on the sky would help explain the origins of both. But alas, they do not.

The tally is something like 61 million Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Scientists have found new vulnerabilities that are eroding Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica — which will have significant effects on global sea levels.

Organic molecules found in a Mars meteorite that crash-landed on Earth are not signs of life, but instead formed in chemical reactions between water and rock on the Red Planet about 4 billion years ago.

Ice scientists say they worry most about the Thwaites glacier in Antarctica and how much the melting ice shelf can add to already rising seas.

A team of scientists are sailing to “the place in the world that’s the hardest to get to” so they can better figure out how much and how fast seas will rise because of global warming eating away at Antarctica’s ice. Thirty-two scientists on Thursday are starting a more than two-month mission aboard an American research ship to investigate the crucial area where the massive but melting Thwaites glacier faces the Amundsen Sea and may eventually lose large amounts of ice because of warm water. The Florida-sized glacier has gotten the nickname the “doomsday glacier” because of how much ice it has and how much seas could rise if it all melts — more than two feet (65 centimeters) over hundreds of years.

Chandi skiied 700 miles to the South Pole in just 40 days. The British Sikh army officer aims to inspire others to push boundaries, and is also raising funds to start an adventure grant for women.

Recent satellite images captured by Landsat 8 show a rare windswept sea ice formation over water in Antarctica.

NASA is tracking two explorers on a 2,268-mile (3,650 kilometers) journey across Antarctica to learn more about humanity's ability to survive on Mars.

Thwaites Glacier is roughly the size of Florida, and holds enough ice to raise sea levels over two feet. New research shows that the collapse of its ice shelf may be just a few years away.

An Antarctic glacier the size of Florida is on the verge of collapse, scientists with the American Geophysical Union warned Monday, a nightmare scenario made worse by climate change that could eventually result in several feet of global sea level rise.

Researchers said the entire glacier holds enough water to raise sea levels by more than two feet.

If the Antarctic ice shelf breaks apart, the glacier's contribution to sea level rise will increase by as much as 25%, scientists warned.

Scientists have detected new cracks in the key ice shelf that buttresses Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier, indicating that the ice shelf could break apart within the next five years. Why it matters: The destruction of the ice shelf could accelerate the movement of inland ice into the sea, eventually causing sea levels to rise by several feet and endangering coastal communities worldwide, per the Washington Post.Get market news worthy of your time with Axios Markets.

A greenhouse in Antarctica testing technologies that could one day grow food for Mars colonists has produced an abundant harvest of greens, vegetables and spices.

The only total solar eclipse of 2021 was one few could see and this new photo from a spacecraft nearly 1 million miles from Earth shows why.

A new video (available on YouTube in 4K) offers a stunning view of the 2021 solar eclipse that occurred on Saturday (Dec. 4).

Astronauts at the International Space Station got a glimpse of the only total solar eclipse of 2021, which was otherwise only visible to a few lucky observers in Antarctica.

Clouds blocked the view of the only total solar eclipse for 2021 for 200 passengers on an Antarctic exploration cruise ship Dec. 4.

The only total solar eclipse of 2021 was only visible across a remote stretch of Antarctica. See photos of what scientists saw.

The only total solar eclipse of 2021 took place under especially isolated circumstances today, sweeping over sparsely populated Antarctica in a dazzling sight.

Scientists say the Southern Hemisphere ozone hole is larger than usual and already surpasses the size of Antarctica.

Is this something to be concerned about? Many scientists feel it isn’t, but then again, it’s not everyday an iceberg the size of Rhode Island breaks free from Antarctica.

Scientists say a vast iceberg that broke off Antarctica earlier this month could drift through the ocean for several years before it breaks up and melts away.

HOBART – The giant orange icebreaker Aurora Australis left Australia for the final time on Saturday after more than 150 trips to Antarctica. The 95-meter (312-foot) Aurora Australis was built in Newcastle north of Sydney and launched in September 1989. It undertook its maiden voyage to Heard Island, an external Australian territory in Antarctica, in 1990. “To suddenly have that leaving your life, it leaves a bit of a hole.”Lawrence was aboard the Aurora Australis when it ran aground near Mawson Station in Antarctica during a blizzard in 2016. The Aurora Australis will be replaced by the $398 million RSV Nuyina, named after a Tasmanian Aboriginal word for southern lights.

(AP Photo/Mark Baker)WELLINGTON – The first U.S. flight into Antarctica following months of winter darkness left from New Zealand on Monday with crews taking extra precautions to keep out the coronavirus. Antarctica is the only continent without the virus, and there is a global effort to make sure incoming scientists and workers don’t bring it with them. The U.S. Air Force flight left from the gateway city of Christchurch carrying 106 passengers and crew, said Tony German, the U.S. Antarctic program's representative in New Zealand.

That world is Antarctica, the only continent without COVID-19. “I’m sure there’s a lot they can tell us that will help us adapt to the new way of things,” Taylor said. As a frightened world was locking down in March, the Antarctic programs agreed the pandemic could become a major disaster. To limit contact between Antarctic workers and flight crew, the plane contains a separate toilet facility mounted on a pallet. As colleagues arrive, Heard will leave Antarctica.
