If all the land-ice covering Antarctica were to melt—around 30 × 10 ^ 6 km 3 (7.2 × 10 ^ 6 cu mi) of ice—the seas would rise by over 60 m (200 ft). [22]

Associated with the Circumpolar Current is the Antarctic Convergence , where the cold Antarctic waters meet the warmer waters of the subantarctic ...
Since the Last Glacial Period, temperature trends have suggested that the interplay from the Antarctic High and Southern Annular Mode has played a significant role in katabatic winds over the Patriot Hills Base Camp. [3]
