Sea ice around Antarctica has always followed a predictable seasonal cycle. Now, we’ve experienced a sudden dramatic loss, and the changes are here to stay.
The Antarctic ice sheet has advanced and retreated over the past 10,000 years. It holds stark warnings, and possibly some hope, for the future.
Mapping the previous melting of glaciers in the Antarctic is helping researchers predict what lies ahead for the ice giants – and the wider consequences.
Will the icy wilderness we know today survive, or will it succumb to climate change and human pressure? Our choices over the coming decade will seal its fate.
