Rapidly Changing Climatic Conditions Put Antarctic Marine Life at Risk: Experts
Keystone Antarctic species, the shrimp-like krill and other countless micro-organisms, are on the brink of extinction because of the environmental changes, warn experts.

Over the last few decades, satellites have shown a downward trend in the area of Arctic Ocean covered by ice. However, the actual volume of sea ice has proven difficult to determine because it moves around and so its thickness can change.
About 90 per cent of the increase is due to growth of multiyear ice - which survives through more than one summer without melting - with only 10 per cent growth of first year ice. Thick, multiyear ice indicates healthy Arctic sea-ice cover.
In Comparison To Previous Estimates, Current Prediction Shows Methane Escaping Arctic Seafloor Has Doubled
The seafloor off the coast of Northern Siberia is releasing more than twice the amount of methane as previously estimated, reveals a new study.

Reindeers' Eyes Change Colour With Arctic Seasons
Researchers have discovered that the eyes of Arctic reindeer change colour through the seasons from gold to blue. Adapting to extreme changes of light levels in their environment and it helps them detect predators.
