On January 14, 2019,American and Dutch scientists found that yearly ice mass loss in Antarctica increased six times more in the past 40 years. The increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is adding enough ice to the continent through the increased losses from its thinning glaciers. It is the longest-ever assessment of Antarctic ice mass, covering 176 basins and surrounding islands. The Antarctic ice sheet revealed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001.And net slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.Their report also revealed the accelerated melting elevated global sea levels more than 1.2 centimetres during 1979 to 2017.AsAntarctica is shedding ice at a rapid rate, we can except a multi-meter rise in the sea level in the upcoming decades
