Amanda Biederman is a scientist at Palmer Station. Located on the West side of the Antarctica peninsula, the region is one of the most rapidly warming areas on Earth. Amanda offers her perspective on Antarctic climate change, ice shelf loss, and the dangers of taking the stability of Antarctic ice for granted.

The discovery of mushrooms near Palmer Station in Antarctica is a rare but not unheard of phenomenon, with about 20-odd species of macro-fungi known to exist on islands near the southernmost continent.

An international team of ham radio operators will take part in an expedition to a remote island that was once a regular stop for U.S. Navy ships that supported the U.S. Antarctic Program. Among the team is Gene Spinelli, who was a young sailor aboard those ships in the 1960s.

It’s been nearly 80 years since Adm. Richard Byrd made his famous flight over the South Pole, enough time surely for all aviation firsts to be inked into the record book. But a U.S. Air Force crew out of McChord Air Force Base recently added to polar history when it landed in Antarctica using night-vision goggles.

Antarctica is more accessible than ever before to scientists. But there are still places too dangerous, too remote or simply too expensive to send people and standard equipment to conduct polar research. Instead, robots are carrying out some of the scientific work today.

Field researchers in Antarctica have returned with more than 17,500 meteorites over the 30-plus years that the extraterrestrial material has been collected from the frozen continent. Yet meteorite science is still in its infancy, and the collected rocks still hold plenty of surprises that could shape our understanding ...

The U.S. Antarctic Program has drilled and recovered its longest ice core to date from the polar regions. It took five years working from a lonely field camp in one of the stormiest regions of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to extract the ice, which contains clues about Earth’s past climate from the last 100,000 years.
