in the South Orkney Trench in the Antarctic Ocean, at a depth of 6,000 meters. This finding expands knowledge about the biodiversity of kinorhynchs in hadal environments—those deeper than 6,000 ...

Flowing clockwise around Antarctica, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest ocean current on the planet. It's five times stronger than the Gulf Stream and more than 100 times stronger ...

Melting ice sheets are slowing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), the world's strongest ocean current, researchers have found. This melting has implications for global climate indicators ...

Krill are a keystone species in the Antarctic, but their population is moving further south due to climate change.

The world's strongest ocean current could slow as melting Antarctic ice sheets flood it with fresh water, according to research published on Monday that warned of "severe" climate consequences.
