Endangered polar heritage
There are 76 sites on the official list of historic sites and monuments in Antarctica. 11 of them are, or used to be, Norwegian. Cultural heritage is a non-renewable resource endangered by environmental pollutants and increased tourism. -We need a lot more research on Norwegian historic sites in... view more (2004-08-04)

Global Earth Day broadcast to feature South Pole
Air quality research and ozone monitoring at the National Science Foundation's Amundsen-Scott South Pole will be showcased as part of a global Earth Day telecast scheduled for April 20, 2007, on various ABC-television's news programs.   view more (2007-04-20)

A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years.   view more (2007-09-19)

The origin of perennial water-ice at the South Pole of Mars
Thanks to data from ESA's Mars Express mission, combined with models of the Martian climate, scientists can now suggest how the orbit of Mars around the Sun affects the deposition of water ice at the Martian South Pole.   view more (2007-07-16)

NASA sees into the eye of a monster storm on Saturn
NASA's Cassini spacecraft has seen something never before seen on another planet - a hurricane-like storm at Saturn's south pole with a well-developed eye, ringed by towering clouds.   view more (2006-11-10)

The moon's south pole: Very high resolution, radar images find rocks abundant, but no ice sheets
Using the highest resolution radar-signal images ever made of the moon - images from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Arecibo Telescope in Arecibo, P.R., and the NSF's Robert C. Byrd Telescope in Green Bank, W.Va. - planetary astronomers have found no evidence for ice in craters at the lunar... view more (2006-10-19)

Water at Martian south pole
Thanks to ESA's Mars Express, we now know that Mars has vast fields of perennial water ice, stretching out from the south pole of the Red Planet. Astronomers have known for years that Mars possessed polar ice caps, but early attempts at chemical analysis suggested only that the northern cap could... view more (2004-03-18)

Cassini's new view of land of lakes and seas
The best views of the hydrocarbon lakes and seas on Saturn's moon Titan taken by the Cassini spacecraft are being released today.   view more (2007-10-12)

Venus comes to life at wavelengths invisible to human eyes
A pale yellow-green dot to the human eye, Earth's twin planet comes to life in the ultraviolet and the infrared. New images taken by instruments on board ESA's Venus Express provide insight into the turbulent atmosphere of our neighbouring planet.   view more (2008-12-04)

Surprises from the Sun's South Pole
Although very close to the minimum of its 11-year sunspot cycle, the Sun showed that it is still capable of producing a series of remarkably energetic outbursts-ESA-NASA Ulysses mission revealed.   view more (2007-02-20)

Venus Express' infrared camera goes filming
An exciting new series of videos from ESA's Venus Express has been capturing atmospheric details of day and night areas simultaneously, at different altitudes.   view more (2007-05-08)

Mars Express radar gauges water quantity around Mars south pole
The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet.   view more (2007-03-16)

Cassini findings suggest complex story of venting at the south pole of Enceladus
Evidence is mounting that the atmosphere of Enceladus, first detected by the Cassini Magnetometer instrument, is the result of venting from ground fractures close to the moon's south pole.   view more (2005-08-31)

SMART-1: Travel maps of the lunar north pole
A new map obtained with SMART-1 data shows the geography and illumination of the lunar north pole. Such maps will be of great use for future lunar explorers.   view more (2007-12-06)

Researchers using Arecibo Telescope discover never-before-seen pulsar blasts in Crab Nebula
Astronomers and physicists using the Cornell-managed Arecibo Telescope in Puerto Rico have discovered radio interpulses from the Crab Nebula pulsar that feature never-before-seen radio emission spectra. This leads scientists to speculate this could be the first cosmic object with a third magnetic... view more (2007-01-09)

Chandrayaan-1 starts observations of the Moon
The Indian Space Research Organisation's lunar orbiter Chandrayaan-1 released a probe that impacted close to the lunar south pole on 14 November.   view more (2008-11-25)

Predicting the weather on Titan?
Using recent Cassini, Huygens and Earth-based observations, scientists have been able to create a computer model which explains the formation of several types of ethane and methane clouds on Titan.   view more (2006-01-24)

New theory sheds light on space enigma
An enormous plume of dust and water spurts violently into space from the south pole of Enceladus, Saturn's sixth-largest moon. This raging eruption has intrigued scientists ever since the Cassini spacecraft provided dramatic images of the phenomenon.   view more (2008-02-25)

New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights.   view more (2005-08-08)

Movement of Earth's North Magnetic Pole Accelerating Rapidly
After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth's North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from northern Canada to Siberia within the next half-century.   view more (2005-12-12)

ODP scientists say no large Northern Hemisphere ice sheets 41 million years ago
New research to test global ice volume approximately 41.6 million years ago shows that ice caps at this time, if they existed at all, would have been small and easily accommodated on Antarctica.   view more (2007-08-23)

Cassini finds recent, unusual geology on Enceladus
New detailed images taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft of the south polar region of Saturn's moon Enceladus reveal distinctive geological features, and the most youthful terrains of any seen on Enceladus.   view more (2005-07-27)

Heart failure is more common but less fatal in South Asian people

Displaced songbirds navigate in the high Arctic
By experimentally relocating migratory white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys gambelii) from their breeding area in the Canadian Northwest Territories to regions at and around the magnetic North Pole, researchers have gained new insight into how birds navigate in the high Arctic.   view more (2005-09-07)

Tracking Climate Change
DFG funds the first European drilling expedition to the North Pole In August 2004, a new and exciting chapter will be opened in the history of Arctic research. In the Arctic Coring Expedition (ACEX), three icebreakers will set off in the direction of the North Pole to extract cores from beneath the... view more (2004-06-08)
