Antarctica has already been experiencing warming, though not as much as in some other parts of the world. It is generally losing ice, though mostly on the coast whereas there may be slight gains in East Antarctica. Sea ice has been slowly increasing in coverage, though this is largely due to variations in the Southern Annular Mode. Several species of penguins have also been found to be having a difficult time adapting to the changes that are occurring. Continued warming will cause further changes in their ecosystems as it continues to get warmer and more ice melts.
