Antarctic Ice Sheet Gains Temporarily

An international study has revealed that the ice sheet in Antarctica increased by 695 billion tons between 2021 and 2023, resulting in a temporary slowdown in ice loss due to a weather phenomenon caused by rising temperatures of warm tropical ocean waters, which contributed to heavy snowfall that offset melting. However, the study emphasizes that this increase is temporary, as the western region continues to lose ice, and ocean temperature rise is expected to remain a threat, potentially accelerating the retreat of glaciers in the eastern part of the continent. The findings indicate that climate variability in tropical regions must be taken into account to understand the future of the continent and its impact on global sea levels.
