Australian Antarctic scientists may soon be the first humans to set eyes on an Antarctic seafloor community, potentially isolated for thousands of years. Learn more👉 antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/mari… 📷J. Stark

🐧Australian Antarctic scientists are using drones, remotely operated vehicles and physical sampling, to complete the first comprehensive biodiversity surveys around Mawson station. antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/firs… 📷R Manfield, C King, J Davey

❄️After days of snow and low visibility in the Bunger Hills, the sun is shining🌞and the first scientists have arrived to work with the #Denman Terrestrial Campaign. 📹Dr Kate Kloza

Every year, expeditioners working with the Australian Antarctic Program take some incredible photos of the landscape and wildlife they live amongst. We’ve collected some of the best here: antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/the-… 📸Dave Buller

The satellite camps are set up, the sun is shining and #Denman Terrestrial Campaign scientists are making fantastic discoveries under the ice. 📸Glenn Johnstone, Raphael Burkart-Radtke

🤔How do we get a better handle on how the ocean melts Antarctic ice shelves? A review of research, published today, points the way. More 👉 antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/litt… Australian Centre for Antarctic Science (ACEAS) Australian Antarctic Program Partnership 📷Pete Harmsen

👏Australian Antarctic ice core scientists have drilled the first 100 m of ice containing 2400 years of climate history, in their quest for ice up to 2 million years old and the most detailed continuous record of Earth’s climate. More 👉 antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/aust… 📷J. McLeod

18 days ago only a bamboo cane marked the location of the Million Year Ice Core drilling site. Today, there’s 150 m of ice core samples containing more than 3000 years of climate history, and a 150 m-deep borehole. Here's the team in action. More 👉 antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/aust…

Around 1 million years ago, when Australia was home to giant megafauna, snow falling in Antarctica trapped atmospheric gases containing information about Earth's climate at the time. Now Oz Antarctic scientists are drilling for the secrets of the ice 👇 antarctica.gov.au/news/explore-a…

Fast sinking krill poo moves carbon from the ocean’s surface to depths for long-term storage, better than krill swimming up and down. Scientists say krill ‘vertical migration’ makes a "surprisingly small" contribution to the carbon export highway antarctica.gov.au/news/2024/sink… 📷N Brown

🐧Scientists have released the most comprehensive database of species living in ice-free Antarctica. More than 35,000 records will underpin future regional and global studies of ecology, diversity and change.

We're a good way through our Antarctic summer of science and there's plenty to report. Catch up on what's been happening in the latest issue of our online newsletter 'Antarctic Insider'. 👀Read online or subscribe at antarctica.gov.au/news/antarctic… 📷 Jono Newman

🤔What’s driving ice loss in Antarctica? A review published in Science Magazine today, highlights research opportunities to advance our understanding of the Antarctic system and better predict its contribution to future sea level rise. More👉 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 📷L. Jong

Antarctic biodiversity is more than penguins & seals. But an Antarctic-wide biodiversity review in Science Magazine, led by Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales, identifies gaps in our knowledge of lesser-known organisms, incl microbes, micro-invertebrates & plants science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 📷LR Pertierra

The tractor traverse team supporting our Million Year Ice Core project is on its way home, with 192 m of 1 m-long ice cores, in 32 boxes. After 14 days on the ‘road’ & nearly 1200 km, the team will reach Casey station later this week. More: antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/aust… 📷C. Gallagher

Flares and flags ensured a fitting farewell for Casey’s summer expeditioners, departing for Wilkins Aerodrome and their Royal Australian Air Force C-17 flight yesterday. A final flight later this week will leave winterers holding the fort for the next 8 months. 📷K See Kee

🐧Scientists voyaging to the Denman Glacier in East Antarctica, are trialling new ways to understand biodiversity, without disturbing marine creatures, using automated environmental DNA (eDNA) samplers. More: antarctica.gov.au/news/2025/test… MBARI 📷Pete Harmsen

New research published in Nature shows that meltwater under the Antarctic ice sheet plays a larger role in ice loss than thought. If this subglacial meltwater is not properly accounted for in models, future sea-level rise may be vastly underestimated. 👉theconversation.com/antarcticas-hi…
