| Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica
Warm
ocean currents attacking the underside of ice shelves are the
dominant cause of recent ice loss from Antarctica. This animation
shows the circulation of ocean currents around the western Antarctic
ice shelves. The shelves are indicated by the rainbow color; red is
thicker (greater than 550 meters), while blue is thinner (less than
200 meters)..
