2013-02-05 21:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Geographic: For the first time, scientists believe they have collected life-forms from deep under the Antarctic ice. Last week, a team found and collected microbes in a lake hidden under more than a half-mile of ice. elated: "Race Is On to Find Life Under Antarctic Ice.") Among other things, the discovery may shed light on what lies under the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The newfound life-forms have little connection to life on the earth's surface and many apparently survive by "eating rocks," team...
Ocean Circulation Disrupted By A Thinning Antarctic Ozone Layer

RedOrbit: The impact of the depleting Antarctic ozone layer on both the shifting direction of the Southern Hemispheres jet stream and the way in which the waters of the nearby southern oceans mix together is the topic of research published in this weeks edition of the journal Science. In one study, a team of researchers led by earth scientist Darryn W. Waugh of Johns Hopkins University wrote that the hole in the regions ozone layer has caused subtropical intermediate waters to become younger and upwelling,...

Drill reaches deep Antarctic lake
2013-01-28 12:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BBC: An American attempt to bore down into Lake Whillans, a body of water buried almost 1km under the Antarctic ice, has achieved its aim. Scientists reported on Sunday that sensors on their drill system had noted a change in pressure, indicating contact had been made with the lake. A camera was then sent down to verify the breakthrough. The Whillans project is one of a number of such ventures trying to investigate Antarctica's buried lakes. In December, a British team abandoned its efforts...
Thousands of Antarctic reindeer face cull
2013-01-09 14:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: About 3,000 reindeer on an island near Antarctica are to be slaughtered to stop damage to the environment by the descendants of a tiny herd introduced a century ago for food by Norwegian whale hunters. A 16-strong team, mostly Sami reindeer herders, has arrived in South Georgia, a British overseas territory, and is preparing to round up and cull all the reindeer on an island that is home to penguins and seals and has no native grazing animals. "The reindeer have become very destructive," Reidar...
