Antarctic Ice Sheet plays pivotal role in climate variability

The discovery may be a step ahead in explaining why sea ice in the southern hemisphere has been on the rise despite warming of the rest of the Earth.

Global warming: West Antarctic ice sheet could melt in next 1,000 years!

The Antarctic already today contributes to the annual sea level rise with 0.4 millimetres, as per scientific findings.

Antarctica is gaining ice: NASA

According to the analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tonnes of ice a year from 1992 to 2001.

Increase in Antarctic snow is greater than losses: NASA

A new NASA study has revealed that the mass gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
