Specialists from The University of Leeds conducted a study of Himalayan glaciers and concluded that in recent decades they have melted ten times faster than the average since the last major expansion of glaciers 400-700 years ago – a period known as the Little Ice Age. This study also shows that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking much faster than glaciers in other parts of the world, so much so that scientists describe this melting as “exceptional.” During the study, scientists reconstructed the size and ice surfaces of 14,798 Himalayan glaciers during the Little Ice Age, and then compared them with the current area, and saw that the glaciers lost about 40 percent of their area. During this period, they lost as much ice as is contained today in the central European Alps, in the Caucasus and in Scandinavia combined. The team calculated that the water released as a result of this melting raised

The Moscow City Court left in jail the rector of “Shaninka” Sergey Zuev, who has undergone several operations since his arrest. The defense’s complaint about his detention was rejected, the press service of the court told RBC. On December 10, his defenders filed petitions for his release from arrest after President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the Human Rights Council that there was no need to keep Zuev in jail. “As for the change in the measure of restraint to the person you mentioned from “Shaninka”, we need to look.

Deep under the ice of the Extreme ice shelf in Antarctica has been thriving in complete darkness for thousands of years, scientists from the UK and Germany have found out. “The discovery of such an abundance of life in these extreme conditions is a complete surprise and reminds us how unique and special Antarctic marine life is,” says lead author of the study and marine biologist of the British Antarctic Survey David Barnes. With the help of hot water, the researchers drilled two wells almost 200 meters deep in the Ekstrom Glacier in East Antarctica and took samples. The biodiversity in this place turned out to be surprisingly rich. The team found 77 species of mosses (primary-mouthed animals) and serpulids (polychaete worms). Many of these creatures have never been found in such conditions before. For the most part, these animals are sedentary and feed on microalgae (phytoplankton). They usually sit in one
