In the context of climate change, it is common to speak of melting glaciers, but scientists have noted that some large accumulations of ice on the Antarctic Peninsula have grown markedly over the past 20 years. Changes in atmospheric circulation and redistribution of the mass of Antarctic ice closer to shore may be to blame.

The enormous masses of ice in the southernmost continent hold much of the water, and this water is perfectly fresh. However, as global warming continues, many Antarctic glaciers are melting fast, causing sea levels to rise... →
