Turkish scientists have claimed that Antarctica has lost ice equivalent to the size of Turkey in the last three years alone. Researchers who are working on the continent reached this conclusion after studying data from UAVs and satellites and tracking parameters like atmospheric water vapour. This means that ice spanning over 785,000 square kilometres (303,090 square miles) has disappeared from the continent during this period.
The analysis of ice cores provides first concrete evidence that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet suffered rapid ice loss around the end of the last Ice Age.
NASA says Greenland's glaciers have lost much more ice than previously estimated and this could hold-term consequences for ocean water levels.
