Satellites reveal clearest picture of ice-melting in Antarctica

[ad_1] NASA satellites have provided more data than ever before on what has been happening to Antarctica and Greenland’s ice over the past 16 years with dire, if not entirely unexpected, findings. Both polar ice sheets are losing billions of tonnes of ice every year and adding to sea-level rise. The results revealed that although … Read more
