McMurdo Station

As the Antarctic ice sheet continues to melt away, we expect multi-meter sea level rise from Antarctica in the coming centuries. In this century alone, a ten-foot rise is possible.

In dives to the seafloor, scientists have noticed big differences in only a few years.

A new study concludes that Antarctica is already being and will continue to be affected by more frequent and severe extreme weather events, a known byproduct of human-caused climate change.
