I've wanted to write about the Southern Ocean for a long time. So I finally did. With editing by @JessePesta and tour-de-force animated graphics by @blueshirt, I hope the story helps you understand why it's such an important place. https://t.co/XSAUxMfwo9

It is estimated that the volume of the Antarctic ice sheet is about 25.4 million km³. The weight of the ice has caused the underlying rock to sink by between 0.5 and 1 km. This is what Antarctica would look like without its ice sheets https://t.co/7f4YKt6YYD

A ship loaded with about 100 climate scientists just confirmed the obvious: the Arctic is melting.

What’s most terrifying: they’re witnessing the Arctic’s final summers with ice

Geoff Somers, the first Briton to cross #Antarctica on foot, is a polar explorer who deserves to be better known. He now finally has a (long overdue) Wikipedia entry. https://t.co/C6fZz16D0A @geoffusomers
