More than 60 percent of all meteorites ever found on Earth came from Antarctica — not because more fall there, but because its ice sheets slowly concentrate hundreds of thousands of years' worth of space rocks into exposed blue-ice fields where they sit waiting to be found.

Scientists sent robots more than two kilometres beneath the Pacific and mapped enormous lava fields around an active volcano — revealing how molten rock once pooled, swelled beneath a hardened crust and burst outward to reshape the ocean floor

More than 10 million years ago, South America had saber-toothed mammals, terror birds and giant snakes. But fossil evidence suggests even its apex land predators could become prey near the water, where the enormous caiman Purussaurus neivensis ruled.

When an Antarctic iceberg the size of Chicago broke off in January 2025, scientists raced to look beneath it and found a thriving ecosystem of octopuses, sea spiders, and icefish that had been living in total darkness for potentially hundreds of years

136 long-clawed shrew skulls from Hokkaido showed the classic winter flattening of the braincase, and across the same series the snout enlarged in winter and shrank again in spring

The 2004 earthquake lifted parts of North Sentinel Island by an estimated one to two metres and exposed its surrounding coral reef; days later, a Coast Guard helicopter confirmed the Sentinelese had survived when an islander fired an arrow toward it
