Research from the University of Otago suggests that coastal plants and animals could potentially be established on Antarctica as its coasts become less icy. This finding aligns with a study from Science Advances indicating that the COVID-19 pandemic's impacts and geopolitical factors may challenge Antarctica's historical immunity from global issues. Additionally, recent models predict a significant slowdown in Arctic sea ice movement after years of acceleration.

A new @ScienceAdvances study argues that the #COVID19 pandemic’s effects, along with other geopolitical factors, may signal an end to Antarctica’s purported immunity from global challenges and conflicts. https://t.co/AVoVlM0DpH https://t.co/PkdM2uxhZQ
