#Antarctica might be thousands of kilometres away, but it affects us all like no other continent. As world leaders gather for the #COP28 climate summit, we bring you a report on how even the most remote place on Earth is beginning to crumble...

This is the year that much changed in our understanding of #Antarctica, @voooos wrote some very good articles on the Southern continent and why it matters.

We’re super excited to announce the addition of 2 new Penguins to our (very local, plush) Penguin Colony: 2 Gentoo penguins (far right in photo) named GenOne & GenTwo. 😉 We now have 5 Emperor + 2 Gentoo Penguins! 😍 It’s probably the only penguin colony in Tucson, AZ, USA! 🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Antarctica and Greenland: Nearing Thresholds from Different Ends
"... If temperatures overshoot 2°C, these regions will contribute to massive and potentially irreversible global sea level rise within the next couple of centuries."

For chinstrap penguins, falling asleep while guarding a nest can spell doom for the eggs and later the chicks. But the species has devised an ingenious way of getting sufficient sleep without compromising vigilance. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2023/12/01/wildlife/chinstrap-penguins-sleep/?utm_content=buffer17955&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #environment #wildlife #animals #antarctica #sleep

This Antarctic glacier dramatically retreated. Then, its ice shelf totally collapsed

Cadman Glacier in Antarctica retreated 5 miles in just 2.5 years, causing its ice shelf to collapse, according to scientists who used satellite images and ocean measurements. Higher ocean temperatures likely hastened the glacier’s deterioration, which contributes to global sea level rise. This indicates potential similar threats for neighboring glaciers.

Waiting at the hairdresser so time for one of my periodic #ClearTheTabs threads on random stuff I have open in my #Firefox...

First up a paper I think @DrEvanGowan shared on Palaeo #SeaLevels from Australia that appear to confirm the vulnerability of #Antarctica to loss under #ClimateChange 1/many

UN Chief Calls Antarctica ‘Sleeping Giant… Being Awoken by Climate Chaos’

“It is profoundly shocking to stand on the ice of Antarctica and hear directly from scientists how fast the ice is disappearing.”

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣5️⃣: #Antarctica 🇦🇶

I wonder if I can get away with making a map about Antarctica but without showing any part of it! 😉

I managed to do just that by showing how involved the countries of the world are in the coldest continent! (Again I used my favorite #CahillConcialdi map projection—any guesses as to what I’ll be doing for Day 30? 😂)

The countries are classified along 4 axes...

Shipping times vary. Same-ocean delivery may only take a few years, but delivery from the Weddell Sea in Antarctica may take multiple decades, and molecules meant for inland seas like the Mediterranean may be returned as undeliverable by surface currents.
