Scientists Warn About the ‘Greenlandification’ of Antarctica
Global warming is causing glaciers at the South Pole to flow faster and surface melting to increase.
Until the 1990s, Antarctica's ice cap seemed frozen, while the Greenland Ice Sheet and Arctic region were thawing due to human-caused global warming.
However, recent research shows that Antarctica's ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice are vulnerable to warming, similar to the Arctic.
- Increased surface melting of ice fields
- Faster-moving glaciers
- Dwindling sea ice
Both satellite data and field observations in Antarctica reveal alarming signs of a Greenland-like meltdown.
