Antarctica, once known as Earth’s refrigerator, is melting massively. With the snow cover significantly reduced, more natural disasters await.
Antarctica is fighting for survival. Due to rising temperatures due to global warming and the El Niño phenomenon, the extent of sea ice has decreased drastically. Sea ice in the region is mostly formed from March to October. But this time, the area of ice sheets has decreased by 15 lakh square kilometers compared to last year. This caused the sea water to absorb sunlight and increase its temperature. This caused more ice to melt. Sea ice is a threat to marine life and their ecosystems.
Melting of ice at the South Pole, which plays a major role in regulating Earth’s temperature, will also cause sea levels to rise. This may lead to more natural disasters.
