After more than 2 decades of drilling in Antarctica, Russian scientists have reached the largest of Antarctica’s nearly 400 subglacial lakes, hidden under the ice for some 20 million years. It is kept from freezing by 12,366ft (3,769m) of ice; keeping in heat generated by geothermal energy underneath.

Following some rocky years, the Large Hadron Collider is kicking off 2012 in high gear.

Communities of species previously unknown to science have been discovered on the seafloor near Antarctica, clustered in the hot, dark environment surrounding hydrothermal vents with temperatures reaching up to 382 deg C. These species get their energy not from the sun but from breaking down chemicals.

Antarctica hides the files of our world's beginning; somewhere deep in her frozen ice lays the world’s very first rock. In 2009 scientists uncovered the Gamburtsev subglacial mountains. They found hidden water, and now possibly also an explanation to the peculiar features of the enigmatic range.

Out on his Atlantic row for 16 days now, Erden Eruc has come across a bloom of millions of tiny transparent creatures, similar to ones he found in the North Atlantic. He wonders what they are:

Davide Peluzzi shot over some news from Italy about Project MeteoMundi, designed to detect and monitor weather and climate in extreme environments and to observe and study all the differences in temperature and precipitation over time with professional installed monitoring stations.

The most dangerous environmental pollutants on Franz Josef Land will be removed and recycled as part of a major cleanup of the Arctic. The main threat to the archipelago's ecosystem is the barrels containing fuel and lubricants which litter the territory, scientists say.

Several ski expeditions to the South Pole start this year in October. That is the tail of winter, warned ALE’s meteorologist, and sometimes this tail can trigger extreme cold/windy conditions. Meteorologist Mark de Keyser tells ExWeb about SP, oceans and mountain weather.

The map shows glaciers flowing thousands of miles from the continent's deep interior to its coast. Researchers discovered a new ridge splitting the 5.4 million-square-mile landmass from east to west. They also found unnamed formations moving up to 800ft annually across immense plains.

With a new climbing season about to begin on Mount Everest, mountaineers who reach the South Col will be able to breathe oxygen from a source other than bottled O2. A Vancouver based company, Summit Air, has developed a system where oxygen will be pumped up the mountain.

Judging from the secrecy you'd think that finding Irvine and the camera on Everest is far more important than, say, discovering the God particle in Geneva. Fittingly, Pete Poston ends his M&I series in an editorial about the politics surrounding the search.

American researcher and climber Pete Poston revisits the Mallory & Irvine Everest mystery in this 2-part special with a closing editorial. Poston's clue contradicts the reported sighting by Xu Jing of the 1960 Chinese Expedition. The body must have been Irvine's but what's up with the bag?

American researcher and climber Pete Poston is a long time contributor to ExplorersWeb. With another Everest season coming up Pete revisits The Mystery of Mallory and Irvine's Fate in the following 2-part special and a final editorial about the politics surrounding the search.

01
The discovery of numerous large ice structures within the site of the buried Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains reveals widespread re-freezing of large volumes of water to the underside of the ice sheet that can account for growth of the structure. This new ice at the base pushes older ice closer to the surface.

Two amphibious off-road vehicles, 2 drivers, 6 men on foot armed with crowbars; ready to take on the pressure ridges & leads of the Arctic Sea. Russian Vladimir Chukov and his team aim for a 3000km North Pole crossing from Sredniy Island of the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago to Canada’s Ward Hunt Island.
