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

A bizarre gravity hole under Antarctica might be why the continent froze over millions of years ago
We tend to think of gravity as being about as constant as it gets. It is the invisible anchor that keeps our feet on the ...
Forte and colleagues now believe Antarctica’s gravity hole was weaker before eventually intensifying around 30 to 50 million ...
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 ...

Gravity doesn’t behave normally in Antarctica, and it intensified as the continent froze
A vast “gravity hole” beneath Antarctica became stronger as the continent shifted into an ice-dominated world tens of ...
Researchers uncover how slow changes deep inside Earth created Antarctica’s gravity anomaly and may even connect to ancient ...
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 ...

Scientists tie Antarctica’s ‘gravity hole’ to deep rock shifts 50 million years ago
We treat gravity as a firm law, but the ground beneath Antarctica tells a ...
