Close encounter with jade iceberg
Scientists think this unusual jade iceberg could get its colouring from concentrations of iron. (Australian Antarctic Division: Pete Harmsen)

Scientists collect unique sea creatures during voyage to East Antarctica https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-03/nuyina-scientists-collect-antarctic-sea-creatures-denman-glacier/105130020
"The RSV #Nuyina is partway through a 60-day voyage to the edge of #Antarctica — it's first mission dedicated solely to marine science... research teams are analysing some of the unique #biodiversity found in the #SouthernOcean. These include #SeaSpiders as big as your hand, #SeaStars that grow to the size of a dinner plate and #octopus species endemic to the region... some could be new to science"
Antarctica on Thin Ice: Satellite Data Reveals 2025’s Stunning Sea Ice Collapse…
Antarctica’s summer sea ice has dropped to one of its lowest extents ever recorded, shrinking to levels 30% below the historical average... #globalwarming #seaice #antarctica #climatechange
@ErikUden #Europe - against my wishes.
Would love to be in #Antarctica, but I've got more important things to attend to.
As well as the obvious, ie. rise in sea level affecting human habitation of landmass soon underwater probably by the end of this century, other inhabitants of our planet have fewer choices of where to live
Modelling suggesting that if we continue on a high greenhouse gas emission trajectory, more than 90 percent of emperor penguin colonies will be all but extinct by the end of the century.
