Ice melts above 32 degrees F -- 0 degrees C, and the temperature in Antarctica doesn't reach that level on most of the continent.

Is it illegal to melt Antarctica?
Under the Antarctic Treaty, there is no covenant that addresses melting ice in Antarctica. Please know that the continent will not melt, but the ice sheet that covers 98% of the continent is subject to natural melting, which is not illegal.
What might be the effect of sprinkling black soot over the ice in the Arctic or the Antarctic?
The ice under will melt because black is a good absorber and a poor radiator.
What will melt because of global warming?
Ice will melt due to Global Warming.....Arctic sea ice (the habitat of polar bears)Antarctic land ice (raising sea levels)Mountain glaciers (cutting off the year round water feed for great rivers).
How does green house rise the sea levels?
Greenhouse gasses melt polar and Antarctic ice, which turns into water, rising the sea level. Hope this helped. :)
What is in ice melt?
Ice melt is made up of chemicals that are intended to melt ice. These chemicals often include salt as well.
How are the ice sheets of Antarctica breaking?
Your question is really about ice shelves, not the Antarctic ice sheet. The ice shelves are deteriorating because of warmer ocean waters that melt the ice shelf from below.

Why does the ice in Antarctica not melt away into the sea when sunlight shines on it?
Some of the ice melts, but since it's so thick -- 90% of the earth's store of ice is in the Antarctic ice sheet -- the sun doesn't shine hot enough to melt more ice than is frozen there during periods when there is no sunlight.

How much is the percent of the ice in the antarctica?
One hundred percent of the ice...in the Antarctic, is ice in the Antarctic.
How changing albedo of ice impacting the Antarctic and Greenland ice caps?
Albedo is a positive feedback. If there is less ice, there earth will not be able to reflect as much radiation and it will warm a little bit more. This will cause continued enhancement of ice melt.
How is global Warming Affecting Penguins Polar Bears and Us?
Global warming can melt the arctic and antarctic ice caps causing polar bears and antarctic penguins to have less place to live, if the ice melted, sea levels will rise and areas will be flooded and we will have fewer places to live.
Does ice with ice melt on it melt fast?
yes
How does green house rise the sea levels?
Greenhouse gasses melt polar and Antarctic ice, which turns into water, rising the sea level. Hope this helped. :)
Is Antarctica starting to melt?
Actually, continents don't melt. However, 98% of the Antarctic continent is covered with an ice sheet, which is subject to melting.
Where do Antarctic Ice fish live?
The Antarctic of course.
