The simulations showed that the gravity hole was initially much less pronounced. Between roughly 50 million and 30 million years ago, however, it intensified significantly. This period coincides with ...

A new study led by the University of Florida has revealed that one of the planet’s most significant "gravity holes" sits directly beneath Antarctica.

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

Gravity seems constant but it turns out, Earth is weirder than that. Gravity actually wobbles a bit across the planet. And ...

Pink boulders led scientists to a massive granite formation buried under Antarctica’s ice, solving a decades-old geological ...
