Climate change melts ice shelves
CLIMATE change is melting the floating ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula, giving scientists a preview of what could happen if other ice shelves around the southern continent disappear, the US Geological Survey said on Monday.
A study reported in the Nature journal by a team of polar scientists from France, Australia and the United Kingdom has provided new insights into climate change in the Antarctic Peninsula region and the possible reasons for the collapse of its ice shelves.
