When an iceberg the size of Chicago broke off from one of Antarctica's massive floating glaciers in January, a team of scientists working nearby quickly pivoted, steering their ship to explore the ...

the Southern Ocean—between Antarctica and other continents—will eventually release heat absorbed from the atmosphere, leading to projected long-term increases in precipitation over East Asia ...
