Global warming.
The warming oceans are actually melting the feet of the glaciers where they move down onto the ocean floor. This creates ice shelves resting on the top of the water. These shelves then break off to form icebergs, sometimes as big as the island of Manhattan.
They aren't melting. In fact, the extent of the sea ice there in the last two years has grown to levels not seen in 35 years.

Just another example of global warming not living up to alarmists expectations.
What else can I help you with?
What consequence of climate change could cause shoreline erosion and coastal flooding?
The melting of the glaciers and ice caps of Greenland, Antarctica and other places.
Is the melting of polar ice caps chemical change?
no
Melting ice caps can result in .?
Melting ice caps can lead to rising sea levels, which can inundate coastal areas and displace populations. Additionally, the loss of ice contributes to habitat destruction for polar species and disrupts ecosystems. Furthermore, melting ice caps can exacerbate climate change by releasing stored greenhouse gases, such as methane, into the atmosphere.
What are the names of the ice caps?
The two main ice caps on Earth are the Antarctic ice cap, located in Antarctica, and the Greenland ice cap, located in Greenland. These ice caps play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate and sea levels.
Where are the melting ice caps?
In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
Why is Antarctica being threatened?
Antarctica is being viewed as being threatened theoretically because of Global Warming. Experts say the ice caps are melting, which is causing a threat to Antarctica because it is covered by ice.
In the day after tomorrow movie why did Jack Hall take ice core samples from Antarctica?
they measure ice caps to see how quickly theyre melting waatsup
What is being done to Antarctica that is destroying it?
As a result of the greenhouse effect, meat is melting ice caps, therefore, leaving nothing but water.
What is wind drift?
Another term for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The current prevents warm water from reaching Antarctica and melting the ice caps.
How much of Antarctica's ice is sealed in ice caps?
99%
Does Antarctica have any ice caps?
yes
What consequence of climate change could cause shoreline erosion and coastal flooding?
The melting of the glaciers and ice caps of Greenland, Antarctica and other places.
Does antarctica double and shrink in size each year?
Antarctica, the continent, does not change in size, but the ice the surrounds the continent freezes in the winter, essentially doubling the size of the ice that covers 98% of the continent.
Is there any theaters in Antarctica?
They have Ice theaters on top of Ice caps
What problems does Antarctica face on ice?
Ice fields melting.
What are some slogans for polar ice caps melting?
"Save the poles, save our world." "Melt your heart, not the ice caps." "Don't let our poles disappear." "Urgent action needed to protect the ice caps."
What sphere is the ice caps in the Antarctica and the Arctic part of?
The ice caps in Antarctica and the Arctic are part of the cryosphere, which refers to the frozen water on Earth, including ice caps, glaciers, and sea ice. The cryosphere plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's climate system.
