    The study projected a sea level rise of 1.3 m (4.3 ft) from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet if all the sea ice in the Amundsen Sea melted. [3] Measurements made by the British Antarctic Survey in 2005 showed that the ice discharge rate into the Amundsen Sea embayment was about 250 km 3 per year. Assuming a steady rate of discharge, this alone was ...

    [40] [41] Most ice losses occur at the Amundsen Sea Embayment [38] and its three most vulnerable glaciers – Thwaites Glacier, Pine Island Glacier and Smith Glacier. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] Around 2005, they were thought to lose 60% more mass than what they have gained, and to contribute about 0.24 millimetres (0.0094 inches) per year to global sea ...
