NASA Studies Find Previously Unknown Loss of Antarctic Ice
WEBAug 10, 2022 · One study, published in the journal Nature, maps how iceberg calving – the breaking off of ice from a glacier front – has changed the Antarctic coastline over the last 25 years. The researchers found that the edge of the ice sheet has been shedding icebergs faster than the ice can be replaced.
