  2. Antarctic ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_ice_sheet

    The entire East Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough ice to raise global sea levels by 53.3 m (175 ft). [119] Its complete melting is also possible, but it would require very high warming and a lot of time: In 2022, an extensive assessment of tipping points in the climate system published in Science Magazine concluded that the ice sheet would take ...

  3. Supercontinent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent

    Continents affect the climate of the planet drastically, with supercontinents having a larger, more prevalent influence. Continents modify global wind patterns, control ocean current paths, and have a higher albedo than the oceans. [1] Winds are redirected by mountains, and albedo differences cause shifts in onshore winds.

  4. Antarctica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctica

    A sea-level rise of 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) would occur if the ice sheet collapses, leaving ice caps on the mountains, and 4.3 m (14 ft 1 in) if those ice caps also melt. [101] Isostatic rebound may contribute an additional 1 m (3 ft 3 in) to global sea levels over another 1,000 years. [ 100 ]

  5. Ice wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_wall

    Antarctica, believed by flat Earthers to be the edge of the world; IceWall SSO, a Web and Federated single sign-on software; Pimpirev Ice Wall, Livingston Island, Antarctica; The Wall, a 700 foot tall structure made out of ice in the fictional world of A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels by George R. R. Martin and its adaptations

  6. Ross Ice Shelf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_Ice_Shelf

    The Ross Ice Shelf is the main outlet for several major glaciers draining the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which contains the equivalent of 5 m of sea level rise in its above-sea-level ice." The report added that observations of "iceberg calving " on the Ross Ice Shelf are, in their opinion, unrelated to its stability.

  7. West Antarctic Ice Sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Antarctic_Ice_Sheet

    A map of West Antarctica. The total volume of the entire Antarctic ice sheet is estimated at 26.92 million km 3 (6.46 million cu mi), [2] while the WAIS contains about 2.1 million km 3 (530,000 cu mi) in ice that is above the sea level, and ~1 million km 3 (240,000 cu mi) in ice that is below it. [20]

  8. Ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

    Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.

  9. Antarctic continental shelf - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_continental_shelf

    The Antarctic continental shelf is a submerged piece of the Antarctic continent that underlies a portion of the Southern Ocean — the ocean which surrounds Antarctica. The shelf is generally narrow and unusually deep, its edge lying at depths averaging 500 meters (the global mean is around 100 meters), with troughs extending as far as 2000 ...
