Wilkes Land crater: The giant hole in East Antarctica's gravitational field likely caused by a meteoriteThe Wilkes Land crater is a hole in the bedrock beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet measuring 315 miles (510 kilometers) across. Researchers have been trying to explain its existence since the ...
A discovery in Antarctica has revealed something few scientists would have expected: a reversal of its decades-long ice loss.
From 2021 to 2023, ice mass in East Antarctica particularly showed signs of recovery. However, scientists still say it may ...

Social media has erupted into debate after stunning findings revealed that the Antarctic Ice Sheet had gone through record-breaking growth after decades of loss.
Mass changes across the Antarctic ice sheet have been detected using satellite gravimetry, revealing significant ...
The most notable gains were in East Antarctica’s Wilkes Land and Queen Mary Land region, including the Totten, Denman, Moscow University, and Vincennes Bay glacier basins. These glaciers had ...
In a surprising turn of events, Antarctica saw a net gain of 107.79 gigatons of ice per year between 2021 and 2023.
Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across.
A new study finds Antarctica gained mass for the first time in decades, reversing previous loss trends and briefly offsetting ...
