The Ice Shelves

Apart from ice and penguins, the Antarctic is not particularly well-known. It appeared for a while that those items would remain there permanently, but perhaps this is not the case. Massive icebergs are breaking off from the continent on a more frequent basis. The world's biggest iceberg detached from the continent in May 2021. It was larger than Rhode Island's whole state. Of all, this was not the 315 billion ton iceberg that detached in 2019. alternatively, the trillion-ton one that separated in 2017. Or the other one, which in 2002 was also the size of Rhode Island.

Nobody is now aware of how much time the remaining Antarctic ice has. for a year? What is 100? There are both dire forecasts and innocuous ones in this game of chance. But regardless of where things go in the future, a sizable portion has already disappeared and won't be appearing anytime soon.
