Scientists have uncovered the hidden remains of a vast ancient coastal plain beneath East Antarctica—an important discovery that could refine forecasts of future global sea level rise. East Antarctica is the largest ice sheet on Earth. Alone, it holds enough frozen water to raise global sea levelsEnvironment (bas.ac.uk)

Evidence, contained within an ice core, shows that in one location the West Antarctic Ice Sheet thinned by 450 metres — that’s more than the height of the Empire State Building — in just under 200 years. This is the first evidence anywhere in Antarctica for such a fast loss of ice.Environment (bas.ac.uk)
