A balloon-borne experiment over Antarctica, designed to detect cosmic radio waves, has instead picked up bizarre signals that appear to be coming from deep within the ice.

It hasn’t been a steady trend, but each year since 2016 less sea ice has formed compared to historic averages. Antarctica’s annual maximum sea ice extent in September 2023 was the lowest on record, ...

The strange radio pulses were detected between 2016 and 2018 by NASA’s Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed ...

A group of researchers in Antarctica have found strange radio waves coming from below the ice. According to the results published in the Physical Review Letters, the mysterious radio waves were ...
