Earth hums! This is pretty cool: “Scientists first recorded Earth's low-frequency "hum" in the 1960s, but its origin was a mystery.
“Now it is believed the noise is caused by ocean swells generated in the Southern Ocean, the sound of which echoes across the planet.”

✧ blue petrel ✧
The blue petrel (Halobaena caerulea) is a small seabird in the family Procellariidae, the only member of its genus. It is distributed across the Southern Ocean but breeds at only six known sites, all close to the Antarctic Convergence zone. Its plumage is predominantly blue-grey, with an "M" banding across its top, ...

We, scientists, activists, and sailors from the #UnderThePole–#MaliziaExplorer #expedition, joined by citizens across the globe, call on our governments to do everything possible to protect #Antarctica and the #SouthernOcean. This must begin with the establishment of a #MarineProtectedArea known as #Domain1, in the #WesternAntarcticPeninsula.

#US to lose ground in #Antarctica after pulling out last research #ship, scientists say
#Scientists said the loss hinders their work and diminishes America’s leading presence on the continent. The #NSF said it continues to support Antarctic research.
U.S. Antarctic Program has had at least one dedicated research vessel in the #SouthernOcean for almost six decades.
NSF said in its 2026 budget request it would terminate lease of Palmer #icebreaker.

'Death Ball' Sponge and Glowing Worms Among Creatures Discovered in #SouthernOcean
Scientists have discovered 30 new species in the deep recesses of the Southern #Ocean, including iridescent scale worms and a carnivorous “death ball” sponge.
The small, round sponge, of the genus #Chondrocladia, is covered in tiny hooks that trap prey, according to the Nippon Foundation–Nekton Ocean Census, which confirmed the discoveries.

Ocean models often struggle to simulate accurate #SouthernOcean circulation, resulting in unrealistic warm conditions. Check out how Leith viscosity parameterisations in NEMO improves the Antarctic circumpolar circulation to model more realistic #oceantemperatures.👉 Find out more: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2025MS004950
