近几十年来，南极洲周围的大气和海洋以及该大陆本身的陆地环境发生了许多变化。这些变化的原因是多种多样的。南极环境的所有组成部分都是相互联系的——水圈、大气、冰冻圈和生物圈都对这些系统的任何部分的变化作出反应，有时会产生放大或加速正在发生的变化的反馈机制。这种复杂性意味着气候变化的原因和后果可能难以确定，但气候变化的一些物理、生物和化学影响范围正在开始出现或已经得到充分确定，并且可以开始估计未来的影响。关于最近南极气候变化的文献非常广泛。特别是Turner等人的一份综合报告（南极气候变化与环境）。SCAR, Cambridge, pp 526, 2009)， Convey等人综述的主题（南极科学21:541-563,2009）。
In recent decades, many changes have occurred in the atmosphere and the ocean around Antarctica as well as to the terrestrial environments of the continent itself. The causes of these changes are numerous and varied. All components of the Antarctic environment are linked–the hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere and biosphere all respond to changes in any part of these systems, sometimes resulting in feedback mechanisms that amplify or accelerate changes that are underway. This complexity means that the causes and the consequences of climate change can be difficult to determine but some of the range of physical, biological and chemical impacts of climate change are starting to emerge or are already well established, and future effects can begin to be estimated. There is an extensive and wide-ranging literature on recent Antarctic climate change. In particular there is a comprehensive report by Turner et al.(Antarctic climate change and the environment. SCAR, Cambridge, pp 526, 2009), subject of an overview in Convey et al.(Antarct Sci 21: 541–563, 2009).
