With the continent holding enough ice to raise sea levels by many metres if it was to melt, polar scientists are scrambling for answers

Antarctic sea ice records lowest levels ever. Does this pose a threat?
Mint, 2023-03-05
A report noted that in the summer of 2022, the amount of sea ice dropped to 1.92m sq km on 25 February – an all-time low based on satellite observations that started in 1979.

Scientists are keeping a close eye on the Antarctic ice shelf as recent activity could soon cause rapid melting and rising sea levels.

Robot provides unprecedented views below Antarctic ice shelf
Science Daily, 2023-03-04
With the help of an underwater robot, known as Icefin, a U.S.- New Zealand research team has obtained an unprecedented look inside a crevasse at Kamb Ice Stream — revealing more than a century of geological processes beneath the Antarctic ice.
