Antarctica Just Lost a Greenland’s Worth of Ice — And That’s Not the Scariest Part
A major shift is unfolding in the waters around Antarctica. Scientists have discovered that the Southern Ocean is getting much saltier — and fast. This change is allowing deep, hidden heat to rise and melt the sea ice from below. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost as much ice as the entire size of Greenland. Even […]
Summary
The Southern Ocean around Antarctica is rapidly becoming saltier, triggering a dangerous rise in deep-sea heat. This hidden heat source is melting Antarctic sea ice from underneath at an alarming rate. Since 2015, Antarctica has lost an area of ice equivalent to Greenland’s size. This accelerated melting poses a significant threat, potentially contributing to rising sea levels and disrupting global climate patterns.
