case study: Antarctica
Antarctica is the world’s largest desert, with less than 200ml rain per year. Ice covers more than 98% of the landmass of Antartica.
Climate Change
The gradual melting of the Antarctic ice sheets is contributing to sea level rise globally of about 25ml/year. Since 1993, it is estimated that around 100 billion tonnes of ice have been lost each year.
