Along parts of the Arctic Ocean floor, currents have driven mud into huge piles, with some "mud waves" nearly 100 feet across. Researchers had thought the Arctic was too calm to produce the mud waves.

Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ice is at its most prominent ...

This current is the Beaufort Gyre and it is an important feature of the Arctic Ocean. By storing or releasing freshwater, it influences the oceanic properties both within the Arctic and as far away as ...

New research suggests continued global warming could put a major Arctic ocean current in serious trouble, and that the consequences could extend far beyond the North. Known as the Beaufort Gyre ...

They will learn about Arctic Ocean currents, sea ice, research technology, and expedition planning, and they will even send small wooden boats to the North Pole to track their movements. Local ...

Now, new research has found that Arctic Ocean sea ice is shrinking even faster than previously thought — and that the Arctic may start to see its first “ice-free” days within the current decade.

The map is the 4.0 version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO), an initiative that was created in 1997 in Saint Petersburg (Russia) in order to map the depths of the ...
