A deep-sea region between Svalbard and Greenland could provide clues to what it might look like beneath the thick ice layer of Saturn's moon Enceladus.

Ice that forms below the ocean surface in Antarctica apparently plays an important role in the global conveyor belt of ocean currents and possibly in nutrient cycles.
Sound is carried faster in warmer Arctic waters than in colder ones, which means good news and bad news for Arctic marine mammals and other animals.
Antarctica's melting ice sheets could lead to more pack ice, but also to faster sea level rise.
Changes in the Arctic Ocean are much more profound than previously thought due to warmer water masses from the south and are already a reality.
The melting of the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is massively favored and accelerated by warm water from all directions.
