A complete paradigm shift.

The Ninth Hour tries to inspire but it's ultimately a complete genre-shift that will leave many fans scratching their heads.

Retired Cmdr. David Beyl, a longtime Mercer Island resident and career Navy pilot who did several tours abroad, including in Antarctica, died March 23 at Overlake Hospital. He was 85.

An 82-year-old Australian scientist said it seemed appropriate to name a newly discovered species after climate activist Greta Thunberg, given its habitat.

After six weeks in lockdown and quarantine, a couple who contracted COVID-19 while on an Antarctic expedition have finally made it home.

Scientists say it is likely a fragile little penguin colony skipped a breeding season due to crucial ocean occurrence — called the Bonney upwelling — running late.

Another "quite fat" king penguin is spotted on the Tasmanian mainland, with one wildlife officer calling the sighting especially rare "unless you're on a tourist ship going to Antarctica", although no cause for concern.

A ship left Melbourne in January 1954 to set up Australia's first Antarctic base. Facing harsh conditions and the unknown, the pioneers built Mawson Station.

Rob Dickson has gone from looking after 100 expeditioners in Antarctica to being a GP for the 1,755 people who live in the remote town of Queenstown on Tasmania's west coast. He says regional Australia can be more isolating.

Scientists hope a drill that can plunge 3 kilometres down into an Antarctic ice cap and withstand temperatures of -55 degrees Celsius will help solve one of the last great puzzles in climate science.

An iceberg 1,636 square kilometres in size, or about the size of urban Sydney or Scotland's Isle of Skye, breaks off Antarctica.

Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the best, as a team of scientists found when building an underwater drone which had to do things no robot had done before.

Towns in regional NSW experience snowfall for the first time in 20 years as a deep polar vortex, which battered south-east Australia yesterday, moves north.

(United States Third Circuit) - Affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by investors of a bankrupt company who claimed they were entitled to dividend payments. The investors, who purchased their shares with notice of the bankruptcy, claimed that the company and several of its officers were liable for failing to pay them a dividend they were owed. Rejecting their arguments, the Third Circuit held that the investors were bound by the reorganization plan, including its releases of liability.

A team of scientists has observed, for the first time, the presence of warm water at a vital point underneath a glacier in Antarctica--an alarming discovery that points to the cause behind the gradual melting of this ice shelf while also raising concerns about sea-level rise around the globe.

With sadness weve left the South Georgia Islands behind. We can imagine that many a passenger have felt similar emotions and in an effort to buoy our spirits Quark threw a BBQ on the aft deck What kind of craziness is this A bit frigid but stimulati

There are a heck of a lot of reasons not to.

In the largest Arctic expedition yet, researchers will gather as much data as they can on the fading ice—and climate change.

A glimpse into the lives of the MOSAiC mission’s polar bear guards—and the powerful predators they watch for.

Thwaites Glacier is melting fast. But to understand how climate change is driving its decline, scientists need to send instruments through 2,000 feet of ice into the water below.

Three London firefighters, and three from South Wales, will be strapping on skis for an arduous 1900km trek across the Antarctic.

Travelling to Antarctica is usually a once in a lifetime experience, and one many people have on their bucket lists. It’s not surprising, considering the dramatic icebergs, huge areas of wilderness and sensational lagoons. Just...

BBC Weather have forecasted a rapid plummet in temperature due to Arctic winds after a bout of heavy rain and thunderstorms on Sunday.

BRITONS saw temperatures climb yesterday into the 20's as many welcomed the early Bank Holiday sunshine, however this weekend a dramatic change will take place as cold Arctic air will sweep snow in.

A SHOCKING weather graphic shows for many parts of Europe, the dry, sunny weather may be over as Arctic air is forecast to ice over large regions of the continent.

The 5,100 sq km behemoth which broke away from Antarctica in 2017 drops its own large chunk of ice.

(Perot Museum of Nature and Science) Published in PLOS ONE today, a study by an international team from the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Dallas and Hokkaido University in Japan further explores the proliferation of the most commonly occurring duck-billed dinosaur of the ancient Arctic as the genus Edmontosaurus. The findings reinforce that the hadrosaurs -- dubbed 'caribou of the Cretaceous' -- had a geographical distribution of approximately 60 degrees of latitude, spanning the North American West from Alaska to Colorado.

(Brown University) A new study shows that coastal sea ice used by Arctic residents for hunting and fishing will be reduced as the planet warms.
