    The melting of all of the ice in West Antarctica would increase global sea-level rise to 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in). [24] Mountain ice caps that are not in contact with water are less vulnerable than the majority of the ice sheet, which is located below sea level.

  3. Climate of Antarctica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Antarctica

    Nearly all of Antarctica is covered by a sheet of ice that is, on average, at least 1,500 m (5,000 ft) thick. Antarctica contains 90% of the world's ice and more than 70% of its fresh water. 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 ...

    Over longer timescales, the West Antarctic ice sheet, which is much smaller than the East Antarctic ice sheet and is grounded deep below sea level, is considered highly vulnerable. The melting of all of the ice in West Antarctica would increase global sea-level rise to 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in). [98]

    [14] [15] In 1978, it was believed that the loss of the ice sheet would cause around 5 m (16 ft 5 in) of sea level rise, [90] Later improvements in modelling had shown that the collapse of the ice grounded below the sea level would cause ~3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) of sea level rise, [102] The additional melting of all the ice caps in West Antarctica ...
