Scientists have captured footage of a sleeper shark farther south than ever before, suggesting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean is ...

In a discovery that has surprised marine scientists, researchers have recorded what is believed to be the first-ever sighting ...

Researchers filmed a 10-to-13-foot sleeper shark off the South Shetland Islands, in what may be the first recording of the species that far south.

The prospect of heat waves without end, increasingly destructive floods, relentless drought, rapidly rising sea levels, and the risk of “point of no return” tipping points require humanity to swiftly ...

The footage was captured by a camera operated by the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Centre, which studies life in some of the deepest, least-visited parts of the ocean. The camera was positioned near ...

A mysterious gravity dip beneath Antarctica is growing stronger, shaped by deep Earth forces over millions of years.

The question is no longer whether China will take part in global ocean governance, but whether it aims to shape it-- and potentially lead it.

For the first time, scientists filmed a massive shark cruising through near freezing Antarctic waters, where sharks were thought absent. What else could be hiding in the ocean’s coldest depths?

Many experts had thought sharks didn’t exist in the frigid waters of Antarctica before this sleeper shark lumbered warily and ...
