Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
Learn how Antarctica’s gravity hole formed inside Earth and grew stronger as its ice sheets took hold.
Gravity feels reliable—stable and consistent enough to count on. But reality is far stranger than our intuition. In truth, the strength of gravity varies over Earth's surface. And it is weakest ...

Scientists reveal why gravity is weaker beneath Antarctica than elsewhere on Earth
Gravity feels steady. You drop a set of keys, and they fall the same way every time. That reliability makes it tempting to ...

Antarctica hides Earth’s most extreme gravity hole, and scientists finally know why
A frozen continent at the bottom of the world sits over the deepest dip in Earth’s gravitational pull, a feature that has persisted for roughly 70 million years. Scientists have long known about this ...
[ADDENDUM 11/26/12: It has been pointed out to me that two planets that have the same surface gravity won't necessarily have the same escape velocity, which appears to undermine my argument that it ...
