Submarine canyons are among the most spectacular and fascinating geological formations to be found on our ocean floors, but ...

Parts of the Arctic are frequently free of sea ice in summer, although many shipping lines prefer to use “ice-class” vessels with extra-strong hulls.

Trump administration plans for oil deep in Arctic Ocean, where US claim has yet to be recognized President seeks to designate High Arctic offshore area beyond the 200-mile limit.

Arctic sea ice has declined significantly. Trends cannot be determined by looking at a short time frame over a few years.

The first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean could happen within three years, according to a new study. A team of international researchers have used computer models to predict that the ominous ...

Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are finding a new place to roam in the rapidly changing Arctic Ocean. Though Indigenous people in the region have seen the whales, also known as orcas, pop up ...

If all of these conditions occurred together — and persisted for a few years — the Arctic Ocean could experience a catastrophic ice loss event by 2027.

The Arctic Ocean Could Have "Ice-Free" Days This Decade As a symbol of global catastrophe, this one is hard to beat, and the effects will be more than just symbolic.

New research shows melting ice is causing the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) to slow down, with widespread consequences for the world’s climate and ecosystems.

When source regulations are in place, ocean circulation plays a more important role in delivering historically emitted POPs to the Arctic. This is the rationale of this study,” Zhang explains.
