Arctic ice loss is worrying, but the giant stirring in the South could be even worse

"Antarctica is an icy giant compared to its northern counterpart. The
water frozen in the Greenland ice sheet is equivalent to around 7 metres
of potential sea level rise. In the Antarctic ice sheet there are around
58 metres of sea-level rise currently locked away.

Like Greenland, the Antarctic ice sheet is losing ice and contributing
to unabated global sea level rise. But there are worrying signs
Antarctica is changing faster than expected and in places previously
thought to be protected from rapid change."
