A Rare Type of Earthquake Emerges in Antarctica Scientists have identified hundreds of previously undetected glacial earthquakes in Antarctica, revealing a hidden source of seismic activity linked to the continent’s most unstable glaciers. Glacial earthquakes are a distinct class of seismic events that occur when massive icebergs break away from the front of a glacier and capsize into the ocean. As these towering blocks of ice collide with the glacier itself, they generate powerful ground vibrations that can travel thousands of kilometers. Unlike typical earthquakes, glacial earthquakes do not produce high frequency seismic waves. This makes them difficult to detect…

Tesla said it delivered 1.64 million vehicles in 2025, a 9% decline from the prior year, and the drop was enough to end its run as the world’s best-selling maker of battery-electric vehicles. Chinese rival BYD reported 2.26 million electric-vehicle sales in the same period, moving ahead of Tesla in the global EV tally. The shift is notable given how strongly Tesla’s earlier growth reshaped the auto industry’s timeline for electrification. The AP report described the result as a reversal for CEO Elon Musk, who once dismissed BYD as a serious threat while Tesla expanded quickly and helped make him…
