Criosfera 2 Installation

By Heather Bowers General Interest, Overland Transport, Science No Comments

A new Brazilian scientific laboratory, the Criosfera 2, was installed this past summer on the Skytrain Ice Rise in Antarctica. The Criosfera 2, similar to its predecessor The Criosfera 1, is a completely self-sustaining laboratory. It uses only wind and solar energy to run year-round, as it collects meteorological information…

Changing Antarctic Waters Could Trigger Steep Rise in Sea Levels

By Media Antarctic Environment, Camp Services, General Interest, Press Release, Science No Comments

Sydney, Australia – January 5, 2017 Current changes in the ocean around Antarctica are disturbingly close to conditions 14,000 years ago that led to the rapid melting of the Antarctic ice sheets and a three metre rise in global sea levels. New research published in Nature Scientific Reports found that at…
