Altogether, ice losses from East and West Antarctica have contributed 4.6 mm to global sea level rise since 1992. – Andy ShepherdRate it:
Antarctica in many ways is like another planet, it's a completely different world. – Jose RetamalesRate it:
Antarctica is shedding 160 billion tons of ice annually and that figure is rising, it's heartbreaking for those of us who've been fortunate enough to witness the place in all its chilling beauty. Forget Cuba. If there's one destination you need to see now, it's Antarctica. – Andrew WhiteRate it:
Antarctica is the perfect place to reflect on your learning, and on the beauty of our planet, and how much we want -- and need -- to do something to protect it. – Population Modeler Dr Deborah PardoRate it:
Antarctica is the windiest, highest, driest continent on Earth, you're cut off from the rest of the world and in winter, completely cut off as no flights go in or out. – Alex KumarRate it:
By watching how the human body and mind adapts in Antarctica, we can plan and predict what would happen in space. – Alex KumarRate it:
Geothermal heating could support' life zones' under its surface, akin to subsurface lakes found in Antarctica, we note that the surface temperature on Jupiter's icy moon Europa is similar to Edward Emerson Barnard b, but because of tidal heating, Europa probably has liquid oceans under its icy surface. – Edward GuinanRate it:
I was awed by everything, the snow-covered mountains, the sunsets, the sunrises. There are no words to describe Antarctica. – Maria Estela DorionRate it:
I'd love to see a broadcast from Antarctica. I think that's the only country or territory we have not covered. – Paul LewisRate it:
If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they’ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years - I don’t think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses. – Jay ZwallyRate it:
In parts of West Antarctica the ice sheet has thinned by extraordinary amounts, and so we set out to show how much was due to changes in climate and how much was due to weather. – Andy ShepherdRate it:
Our main disagreement is for East Antarctica and the interior of West Antarctica – there, we see an ice gain that exceeds the losses in the other areas. – Jay ZwallyRate it:
Pluto is covered by exotic-composition ices and its landscape strongly resembles the polar caps on Earth( Greenland and Antarctica), new Horizons even discovered spectacular mountains on Pluto covered by bright deposits, strikingly resembling snow-capped mountain chains seen on Earth. – Tanguy BertrandRate it:
That's just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak, as the Antarctic ice sheet continues to melt away, we expect multi-metre sea level rise from Antarctica in the coming centuries. – Eric RignotRate it:
The Amundsen Sea region in West Antarctica and Wilkes Land in East Antarctica are the two regions most sensitive to warming ocean temperatures and changing currents, and will continue to lose large amounts of ice, with these new results, we can focus our efforts in the correct direction and know what needs to be worked on to continue improving the projections. – Hlne SeroussiRate it:
The biggest challenge about the project is that East Antarctica is HUGE ! it's bigger than the U.S. and Mexico combined. – Mathieu MorlighemRate it:
The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away, but this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for. – Jay ZwallyRate it:
The reason why Australia administers claim to 42 percent of Antarctica is all because of Mawson and what he did here. – Martin PassinghamRate it:
The sea level rise from Western Antarctica will eventually submerge Hamburg, Shanghai, New York and Hong Kong, you can't negotiate with physics: that's the dilemma here. – Anders LevermannRate it:
The seas of Antarctica are treacherous and unforgiving, this incident is a sobering reminder of the importance of the U.S. icebreaker fleet as we see increased human activity in the polar regions. – Coast GuardRate it:
There is always inherent risk in traveling to Antarctica. David was amongst the most experienced of the Antarctic pilots, at this stage, we anticipate repatriating David's body by air, possibly this weekend when a weather window opens up. – Nick GalesRate it:
To be on board and confronted by a safety video you’re obliged to watch set in Antarctica is beyond ironic, it is the ultimate insensitive insult to the families, both immediate and wider. – David LingRate it:
Traditional travelers choose Antarctica only after they have covered all other continents. – Todd SmithRate it:
We have a deployment in Antarctica to monitor penguins, so we're getting images back daily to look at the penguin behavior and also look at environmental change in that area, we're also using it for anti-poaching purposes to improve security within protected areas. So an alert, an image, would be sent to an operations room and then rangers can then react accordingly to that alert. – Louise HartleyRate it:
