(CNN) -- Travelers to Antarctica always remember the first place they planted their feet on the frozen continent. For me, it was Portal Point, a narrow tip of land jutting westward from the Peninsula just north of the Antarctic Circle.

As warmer weather opens up the Arctic for transit and exploration, new energy ambitions emerge

Last month, Antarctica experienced a record-breaking heatwave and unusually high amounts of snowfall in some places, leaving scientists puzzled. In this special episode of Climate Now, we explore the latest data from the frozen continent and explore how this extreme environment is changing as the planet warms.

Arctic voyage researchers find surprises from MOSAiC expedition, and now they’re delving into volumes of new data.

Navigating the polar regions is almost as complicated now as it was when Ernest Shackleton's Endurance sank in 1915. But the technology used to find the shipwreck could help create "a kind of Google Maps for the Arctic and Antarctic".

On February 28th, following both the publication of the stark Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, UN Secretary General António Guterres wrote:

Send the navy—all of them—and the oil industry to Antarctica if we want save every beach on the planet

So far this year Scotland has experienced its sixth warmest January, two whole degrees Celsius warmer than the 1981-2010 average and its tenth wettest February, which was also 1.1C warmer than that longer term average.

The Clean Arctic Alliance is made up of 21 not-for-profit organisations, the Clean Arctic Alliance campaigns to persuade governments to take action to protect the Arctic, its wildlife and its people.

Sailors on the Royal Navy’s polar research ship HMS Protector have found an enormous Antarctic glacier vanishing at an alarming rate.

Using MBARI mapping technology, researchers have established a baseline for tracking future changes to the seafloor.

East Antarctica is the least known region of Earth. Studying this remote part of the continent is extremely difficult, requiring researchers to look beneath kilometers of blanketing ice.

The wreckage of polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s ship Endurance, which was crushed by Antarctic ice and sank some 10,000 feet (3,000 m) to the ocean floor more than a century ago, has been found, a team searching for it said on Wednesday.

U.S. NAVY ICE CAMP QUEENFISH – Commander, Submarine Forces (COMSUBFOR) officially kicked off Ice Exercise (ICEX) 2022 in the Arctic Ocean on Friday, March 4, after the building of Ice Camp Queenfish and arrival of two U.S. Navy fast attack submarines.

Up to a trillion tons of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, may be locked away in the decaying ocean floor of a vast Arctic continental shelf.

Project leader said such research helps scientists trace the animals' behavioural patterns and ecology. Each seals had travelled as far as 633km (393 miles) from the coast of Japan's Showa Station in Antarctica. These seals were equipped with the head-mounted conductivity, temperature and depth sensor.
