Antarctica is missing 2 million sq km of sea ice, scientists say the impact may reach far beyond the frozen continent
- Representative imageAntarctica may feel far removed from everyday life, but new research suggests the icy continent could have a bigger influence on global warming than scientists once believed.
- A recent study by European Geosciences Union (EGU) points to a stronger-than-expected connection between Antarctic sea ice, cloud cover, and the way Earth stores heat, raising fresh concerns about how quickly the planet could warm in the years ahead.
- Antarctica is changing fastAntarctica has always been one of the hardest places on Earth to study.
