Expedition to the North Pole: polar researchers fear an ecological collapse in the Arctic.

The research ship Polarstern spent two months in the ice of the Arctic this summer.

What they found could be evidence of an ecological collapse.

These changes in the melting of the Antarctic ice caps ought to terrify us. if we assume it is business as usual, we will be in deep trouble.

I believe it is time we woke up, and realized that life is not going to be the same for our generation if we continue to make a mess. The next generation will be in bigger trouble.

TIL, there is a small #glacier in #Antarctica charmingly named #woozle hill after the heffalumps and woozels in #WinnieThePooh

The #Ukraine Antarctic base at #VernadskyStation operate an #IceCap monitoring programme there...

Had not realised this one was out.

A new #IceCore is planned at #MullerIceCap on #AxelHeibergIsland and @agrinsted & Ann-Sophie Zinck have tried to estimate the thickness of the #IceCap, partly using our #HIRHAM5 simulations...

Will be interesting to see how close they are!

I miss this place! The Patagonian Icecap. This photo is a few years old but has inspired us enough to head back there in November 2024.

It shows a party crossing the Patagonian Icecap with the stunning backdrop of the Cerro Torre range covered in snow and ice. An incredible sight.
