- Scientists think they’ve just pinpointed the key driver of ice loss in Antarctica - warm ocean water may be the biggest driver of glacial retreat in that region — and it’s a problem that may not be getting enough attention. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/07/14/scientists-think-theyve-just-pinpointed-the-key-driver-of-ice-loss-in-antarctica/ 3 comments science
- Antarctica is getting 28 new place names to recognise British individuals who've made a major contribution to advancing science in the polar regions. The honourees will be associated with various mountains, glaciers and bays which were known previously only by their anonymous coordinates. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-55171303 8 comments worldnews
- At 2°C of warming, melting and the accelerated ice flow into the ocean will, eventually, entail 2.5m of global sea level rise just from Antarctica alone. At 4°C, it will be 6.5m and at 6°C almost 12m...

- Relatively few iron-based meteorites have ever been found on the Antarctic continent, leading scientists to suspect that something is causing them to get lost beneath the ice. Now, an expedition to search for Antarctica's 'lost Meteorites' has been approved http://www.sciencealert.com/an-expedition-to-search-for-antarctica-s-lost-meteorites-has-been-approved 5 comments space
