From sea ice to ocean currents, Antarctica is now undergoing abrupt changes – and we’ll all feel them The vast ice of Antarctica has long seemed impregnable. But sudden changes are arriving – from shrinking sea ice to melting ice sheets and slowing ocean currents.

Emerging evidence for abrupt #Antarctic changes: declining sea ice, slowing ocean circulation, reduction in ice sheets and changing ecosystems. theconversation.com/from-sea-ice...
