The ice caps are melting at a rapid speed in Antarctica due to climate change and this is endangering the environment as well as lives of over thousands of animal species. There was also data from satellites that have attained information that Antarctica and Greenland have lost 6.4 trillion tonnes of ice from 1992 to 2017.
On the BBC News website, research has shown that ice sheets contribute to about a third of all sea-level rise with ice sheets in West Antarctica having thinned the most.
There is also satellite information from the The World website showing that scientists have discovered that the Thwaites Glacier (a strangely immense Antarctic glacier flowing into Pine Island Bay) has been promptly melting since July 2019. Moreover, the website states, “If the Thwaites Glacier melts, it would change global coastlines forever.”
The ice in Antarctica holds 90% of the world’s fresh water and 80% of that ice comes from the eastern part of the continent. As you can see, Antarctica has a huge impact on humanity and submitting more and more greenhouse gases into our environment will worsen the effect on Antarctica and our lives.
