AP – Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30 per cent since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time, reports a new study that surveyed these crucial “gatekeepers” between the frozen continent’s massive glaciers and open ocean. Of the continent’s 162 ice […]

Satellite observations of Antarctic ice shelves reveal a dramatic loss of ice, with 74 trillion tons of water released into the ocean since 1997 — evidence of climate change's impact on the region.

Around 40% of floating ice shelves have significantly reduced in volume over past 25 years.

Antarctic ice shelves incurred significant ice loss between 1997 and 2001. Click to read more. Antarctica is a vast icy continent containing massive chunks of ice because of a prehistoric glaciation, which scientists predict to have taken place approximately 35 million years ago.

Nature has been delivering some concerning news lately.
