A 26-year-old Jacksonville native and University of North Florida alumni will be joining Star Trek icon William Shatner, renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke, and former NASA astronaut Scott Kelly to document a trip to Antarctica aiming to highlight the “vital connection between Earth’s oceans and the cosmos.”

A new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) shows that the planets heat records were once again broken.

Britain’s polar research ship has crossed paths with the largest iceberg in the world.

The British Antarctic Survey says that one of the world’s largest icebergs is drifting beyond Antarctic waters after being grounded for more than three decades.

Scientists say a vast iceberg that broke off Antarctica earlier this month could drift through the ocean for several years before it breaks up and melts away.

Australian Antarctic Program(CNN) - A enormous iceberg bigger than Los Angeles or Greater London has separated from the Amery Ice Shelf in Antarctica, the largest to do so in more than half a century. The table iceberg, named D-28 by scientists, broke off the shelf in east Antarctica on September 26. Scientists from the Australian Antarctic Program, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego have watched developments on the ice shelf for almost 20 years, after first spotting a rift developing in the early 2000s. In a statement released by the Australian Arctic Division, she said: "I am excited to see this calving event after all these years. She and her colleagues had been keeping an eye on a nearby location known as "Loose Tooth" since 2002 because of its shape and its precarious attachment to the ice shelf.

Average thermometer readings around the globe reached previously unseen highs, making June 2019 the hottest June on record, according to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Scorching temperatures also brought Antarctic sea-ice coverage to a new low for the second month in a row, the administration said. Adding to that, last month was also the 414th consecutive month recording above-average global temperatures. From January to June, global temperatures rose 1.71 degrees above the 20th-century average of 56.3 degrees. If you were to average temperatures worldwide, this year is now tied with 2017 as the second warmest year-to-date on record.
