Less #UVlight may mean less carbon storage in Antarctic tundraThe #Antarctic ozone layer is recovering, a major environmental success following the #MontrealProtocol. As the #ozone layer heals, less #ultraviolet radiation reaches the Antarctic surface—a change usually viewed as beneficial for living organisms.
But a new field study suggests that the ecological story may be more complicated. -

Last month was the 3rd lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of August.
This was 1,260,000 km² below the 1981-2010 August average. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index

For #genuary10 "polar coordinates", I wanted to take the prompt quite literally and draw a map of the poles.
The sketch shows Antarctic sea-ice extent in September for the years 2005 (pink), 2011 (purple), 2018 (blue) and 2025 (black), in a radius range ~2500 to 4000 km from the pole.
The data is from #NOAA #NSIDC and its continuation is threatened by US administration budget cuts on climate research.#genuary #genuary2026 #genuary10 #antarctic #climate #dataviz #plotter

First #detection of #influenza A virus subtypes #H1N1 and #H3N8 in the #Antarctic region: King George Island, 2023
Source: Vopr Virusol., AbstractRelevance. Influenza A virus is characterized by a segmented single-stranded RNA genome. Such organization of the virus genome determines the possibility of reassortment, which can lead to the emergence of new virus variants. The main natural reservoir of most influenza A virus subtypes are wild waterfowl. Seasonal migrations…

Cutbacks to #US #Antarctic #Science Risk Geopolitical Shifts at the #SouthPole
Reductions to #American research at the South Pole could affect the politics of the southernmost continent
#McMurdo—normally a humming hub of research—has gotten quieter. Amid budget concerns and delayed upgrades to the station’s aging infrastructure, the #NSF has pulled back on the number of scientific projects and associated people it sends to the globe’s deepest south.

Scientists count huge melts in many protective Antarctic ice shelves. Trillions of tons of ice lost.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/antarctica-melt-1.6994249
"Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30 per cent since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time, reports a new study that surveyed these crucial "gatekeepers" between the frozen continent's massive glaciers and open ocean."

‘Something weird is going on’: search for answers as Antarctic sea ice stays at historic lows
Some scientists fear the ‘shocking’ shift is the beginning of a global heating-linked collapse of the ice that could have alarming knock-on effects

Status of the #January #seaice in the #Antarctic:
- Sea-ice extent was clearly *record-low* for January this year.
- Large negative sea-ice anomalies are seen in #Bellinghausen, #Amundsen/#Ross, and even an open-water region in the eastern #Weddell SeaSource: #OSISAF

Staying with #Antarctic #IceShelves - I also found I had revisited this super cool paper by the awesome #DrGilbz (#EllaGilbert) and Christoph Kittel on the likely futures of the peninsula shelves under different warming scenarios..
tl;dr - limit the warming to save the shelves..5/
