These changes in the melting of the Antarctic ice caps ought to terrify us. if we assume it is business as usual, we will be in deep trouble.

I believe it is time we woke up, and realized that life is not going to be the same for our generation if we continue to make a mess. The next generation will be in bigger trouble.

TIL, there is a small #glacier in #Antarctica charmingly named #woozle hill after the heffalumps and woozels in #WinnieThePooh

The #Ukraine Antarctic base at #VernadskyStation operate an #IceCap monitoring programme there...

Had not realised this one was out.

A new #IceCore is planned at #MullerIceCap on #AxelHeibergIsland and @agrinsted & Ann-Sophie Zinck have tried to estimate the thickness of the #IceCap, partly using our #HIRHAM5 simulations...

Will be interesting to see how close they are!

I miss this place! The Patagonian Icecap. This photo is a few years old but has inspired us enough to head back there in November 2024.

It shows a party crossing the Patagonian Icecap with the stunning backdrop of the Cerro Torre range covered in snow and ice. An incredible sight.
