the largest iceberg that broke off the #Antarctic ice shelf in 2017 was about 2,240 square miles. Tom #Cruise #movie #Digger is complete bullshit and should be avoided! www.scientificamerican.com/article/coul... #climate don't waste your money on this movie. #europe

Also news - 2026 observed the 3rd lowest annual maximum #Antarctic sea ice extent on record. This was reached earlier in the year than average.
Since the maximum, ice extent has rapidly tumbled to close to record low levels for the date!

This guy's kinda hot in his field (pun intended). He led the work on great chunks of various IPCC reports. People listen to him, I hope.

Watch Tasmanian #climate scientists discuss the importance of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the outsized role of Hobart in bringing #Antarctic science to climate policy.

How can the #Antarctic Treaty System survive heightened global pressures on climate and territory? Professor Jeff McGee and his team are looking for the answers

Of course, less #Antarctic winter sea ice means less sea ice in summer too. And that brings knock-on impacts to the global #climate system.
An enormous area of #Antarctic ice covering 1,400km by 400km, more than 4km thick in places, holds an estimated 3-4m of global sea-level rise, if melted.
But for something so consequential for the natural world and human society, the Wilkes Subglacial Basin in #East Antarctica is largely unknown.
The NSF awarded DRI’s Alison Murray $18.4 million to lead a project, GIGA DATA, that will pave the way for the next generation of #Antarctic research that will produce an extensive database of genetic information.

Two #Antarctic #volcanoes, and a question: what if they woke up ?
