The melting ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic are causing alarm as sea ice levels reach unprecedented lows. Recent studies have shown that over 40% of Antarctica's ice shelves have reduced in volume over the past 25 years, with four dozen ice shelves shrinking by at least 30% since 1997. The consequences of this catastrophic thaw are being captured by researchers in the high Arctic, highlighting the urgent need for action. Funding for these studies has been provided in part by Let's Talk Science. The growing size of the global sea ice departure is a worrying reality, as trillions of tons of ice have been lost, resulting in the release of 7.5 trillion tonnes of water into the oceans since 1997. These findings underscore the urgent need for global efforts to address climate change and protect our polar regions.

Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time https://t.co/Ccm3eZU7Ye
Due to unusually low sea ice in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the size of the global sea ice departure is growing to its most anomalous yet this year... More figures at https://t.co/ecHYax1KfT https://t.co/Zy57isrhj5
