Climate Change Is Altering All of the Antarctic
Indeed, the disappearance of Antarctic ice is a huge concern for all the species that call the region home. Land ice is disappearing at a rapid clip, with 3 trillion tons of ice melting into oblivion since 1992 alone. Sea ice went through a shocking boom and bust cycle last decade, and strange holes known as polynyas have formed at times. It’s all very weird and disconcerting. (Don’t even get me started on what it will mean for coastal locations that will have to deal with land ice melt.)
