Instruments aboard a European satellite orbiting Mars have confirmed the presence of a vast expanse of water ice at the planet's south pole, overlaid in a small area by a veneer of frozen carbon ...

While the North Pole has been losing sea ice over the years, the water nearest the South Pole has been gaining it. Antarctic sea ice hit a record 7.51 million square miles in September. That ...

We haven’t heard a lot about the other ice sheet, the one at the South Pole. This is probably because no one lives on in the Antarctic, other than a few very cold scientists, and not that much ...

Two photos of the same region at the Martian South Pole show the same mesas eight years apart, and the changes are visible ...

The detector is called IceCube, and its detectors are buried in the South Pole's ice cap. IceCube has now scored its first big success, detecting the highest-energy neutrinos ever spotted.

Water At Martian South Pole Date: March 19, 2004 Source: European Space Agency Summary: Astronomers have known for years that Mars possessed polar ice caps, but early attempts at chemical analysis ...

It is no strange sight to see icebergs break off of the Antarctic ice cap and drift away, like the gigantic sheet of ice that is currently heading for the island of South Georgia. But climate ...

But the South Pole hasn't always been frozen. So when was the last time Antarctica was ice-free? This ice cap formed relatively recently in geological terms, experts told Live Science.

Jules Verne sent his fictional submarine, the Nautilus, to the South Pole through a hidden ocean beneath a thick ice cap. New research sheds light on how ocean currents contribute to melting in ...

Further evidence for the existence of water under the ice cap of the Martian south pole has been uncovered by a team of researchers led from the University of Cambridge. As on Earth, the so-called ...

Above – The left-hand panel shows the surface topography of Mars’s south pole, with the outline of the south polar cap in black. The light blue line shows the area used in the modeling experiments, ...
