Antarctica's ice shelves have released a staggering 7.5 trillion tonnes of water into the oceans since 1997, according to a study. Scientists have observed significant melts in many protective Antarctic ice shelves, resulting in the loss of trillions of tons of ice. The global sea ice departure has reached its largest anomaly in the satellite record. Additionally, Greenland's ice sheet surface melt is accelerating, while Antarctica's is slowing down. These findings highlight the alarming reality of melting ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
