In the winter months the surface area of Antarctica doubles as the sea freezes, when spring and summer arrive again it begins to melt and break up, it can be 4-5 m thick or more but rarely lasts more than a couple of years before melting completely....

From Geophysical Research Letters and the University of Leeds: Three years of observations show that the Antarctic ice sheet is now losing 159 billion tonnes of ice each year -- twice as much as when it was last surveyed. See below for some sanity check
“If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they’ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years — I don’t think there will be...
The study employed the latest findings in science (high-resolution seafloor imaging, novel modeling techniques) to assess the risks possessed by severe melting of Antartica’s Ice Sheet. The work suggests that previous estimates for sea level rise by the year 2100 in the range of 0.9 meters (...
These Adelie penguins in Antartica are really on thin ice. Global warming is causing more ice floes like these to melt. It is also causing the Adelie penguin population to fall. Kilimanjaro is not the only place that is threatened. Glaciers and polar ice are melting. Coral reefs are dying ...
Inflowing CDW is warm and salty and contrasts with the melt-laden outflow that has been cooled and diluted by the addition of fresh water (Fig. 2). Under PIG, this outflow carries a signature of increased light attenuation arising from sediment-laden meltwater discharge or the melting of ...
