Earth's poles are undergoing simultaneous freakish extreme heat with parts of Antarctica more than 70 degrees (40 degrees Celsius) warmer than average and areas of the Arctic more than 50 degrees (30 degrees Celsius) warmer than average Hot Poles, Nuup Kangerlua Fjord, Greenland

Environment

Arctic and Antarctic see extreme heat and historically low sea ice

Both poles are being warmed by unusually hot air currents, but scientists think the extreme temperatures in Antarctica are a result of natural variability not climate change

New penguin colonies not previously known to science have been found in the Antarctic by researchers from Stony Brook University. These include a new gentoo penguin colony never before recorded at Andersson Island, on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula. This is one of the southmost records for Gentoo penguins breeding on the eastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula, where until recently it was far too icy for the more temperate Gentoo penguin to successfully raise chicks. Before this discovery, only one solitary Gentoo nest had been found this far south, but researchers have now discovered a colony of 75 gentoo nests.

Collapse of doomsday glacier in Antarctica could begin within a decade

Antarctica's Thwaites glacier could lose its grip on its seamount within 10 years, which could lead to catastrophic sea level rise and potentially set off a domino effect in surrounding ice
