Antarctic’s Weddell Sea loses sea-ice twice the size of Spain
Glaw Lake was recently designated as Arunachal Pradesh’s First and India’s 101st Ramsar Site. It is located within the Kamlang Tiger Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary. It hosts diverse flora and fauna sp...
Maritime chokepoints are vital points along shipping routes that facilitate the passage of substantial trade volumes. These chokepoints control the global essential supplies such as oil, gas, fertiliz...

Indo-China polar science research collaborations can be put in place constructively, with both the nations’ rising interest in the area.
CLIMATE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENT, POLAR REALM, ANTARCTIC
Due to intense storms and the appearance of polynya (open water within the sea ice), the summer sea ice in the Weddell Sea sector of Antarctica has decreased by roughly one million square kilometres. Scientists point out that this will adversely impact the Antarctic ecosystem.

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus)-classified as a marine mammal, roam the arctic sheets and swim in the region’s coastal waters. As these bears depend on sea ice for their existence and are directly impacted by global warming and climate change, it makes them a significant indicator species (Ramsay M., 1998). Polar bears are also on the […]</p>
Antarctica, a vast expanse of ice and land, harbours one of the most intriguing features under its ice—the subglacial lakes. These isolated lakes form a part of the basal hydrological system and conceal unique biological ecosystems and climate records,thus prompting more scientific missions along with numerous challenges.
