Ice covers Antarctica to an average thickness of 2,133 meters (7,000 feet). If all the Antarctic ice melted, because all this ice is on land, it would raise sea levels around the world by about 61 meters (200 feet). The events that would be necessary to cause this though, would require an external event such as an asteroid hitting the planet.

What will happen to the wildlife in Antarctica if the ice melts from global warming?

Answer Hi Wildlife in Antarctica will eventually become extinct if all the ice melts from global warming, as the temperatures would be too high for them to handle and there would be no land mass cold enough for them to exist on. Unless they manage to evolve in time (which is not likely), this would be the result. bye
