Antarctica's ice mass decreases
Scientific sources have reported that the Antarctic continent has lost a significant ice mass, as Bellingshausen Sea west of the Antarctic Peninsula is now completely ice-free following record heatwaves in June. The ice loss is estimated at over 650,000 square kilometers compared to the 1991-2020 average, with ice retreat occurring in three of the last four years, which may indicate that ice renewal in that area is no longer sustainable. Additionally, record-high temperatures have been recorded, affecting marine life and bird populations, with concerns about accelerated ice melt and its impacts on the ecosystem.
