It covers about 98% of the Antarcticcontinent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14million square kilometres (5.4million square miles) and contains 26.5million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice. That is, approximately 61 percent of all fresh water on the Earth is held in the Antarctic ice sheet, an amount equivalent to about 58 m of sea-level rise. In East Antarctica, the ice sheet rests on a major land mass, but in West Antarctica the bed can extend to more than 2,500 m below sea level. Much of the land in this area would be seabed if the ice sheet were not there.
In contrast to the melting of the Arctic sea ice, sea ice around Antarctica was expanding as of 2013. The reasons for this are not fully understood, but suggestions include the climatic effects on ocean and atmospheric circulation of the ozone hole, and/or cooler ocean surface temperatures as the warming deep waters melt the ice shelves.
The Antarctic (US English /æntˈɑːrktɪk/, UK English /ænˈtɑːrktɪk/ or /æntˈɑːrtɪk/ and /ænˈtɑːrtɪk/ or /ænˈɑːrtɪk/) is a polar region, specifically the region around the Earth's South Pole, opposite the Arctic region around the North Pole. The Antarctic comprises the continent of Antarctica and the ice shelves, waters, and island territories in the Southern Ocean situated south of the Antarctic Convergence. The region covers some 20% of the Southern Hemisphere, of which 5.5% (14 million km2) is the surface area of the continent itself.
Geography
The maritime part of the region constitutes the area of application of the international Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), where for technical reasons the Convention uses an approximation of the Convergence line by means of a line joining specified points along parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude. The implementation of the Convention is managed through an international Commission headquartered in Hobart, Australia, by an efficient system of annual fishing quotas, licenses and international inspectors on the fishing vessels, as well as satellite surveillance.
Antarctic was a Swedishsteamship built in Drammen, Norway in 1871. She was used on several research expeditions to the Arctic region and to Antarctica through 1898-1903. In 1895 the first confirmed landing on the mainland of Antarctica was made from this ship.
The ship
Antarctic was a barque with three masts and equipped with a steam engine. Build in 1871 at Holmen in Drammen under the name Cap Nor.
In the early 1890s Norwegian ship-owner Svend Foyn wanted to expand his business to the Antarctic Ocean thereby needing capable ships. Foyn then purchased Cap Nor, made extensive repairs and after completion renamed the ship Antarctic. From 1893 the ship was deployed to the Antarctic ocean for whale hunting.
In 1897 the ship was purchased by Alfred Gabriel Nathorst for his planned expedition to Svalbard. Again extensive repairs were made prior to the expedition in 1898.

Life found beneath Antarctic ice sheet 'shouldn't be there'
Biologists say the inadvertent discovery of sea life on a boulder underneath an Antarctic ice shelf and hundreds of kilometres challenges our understanding of how far organisms can live from sunlight.
A British Antarctic Survey team drilled through the 900-metre-thick Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf and dropped a camera down the hole in search of mud on the seabed. To their surprise, the camera revealed a boulder ringed by animals. Video footage appear to show 16 sponges, accompanied by 22 unidentified animals which could include barnacles. It is the first time such immobile life has been found beneath an Antarctic ice sheet. “There’s all sorts of reasons they shouldn’t be there,” says Huw Griffiths at the British Antarctic Survey, who analysed the footage.

Something Huge is melting out of the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Something Huge located between Prince Olav Coast and Prince Haraid Coast is melting out of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. An enormous structure hidden under the ice sheet of Antarctica has become visible possible due to climate changes. The structure which is not something natural or a crack in the ice sheet is 300 meters long, width measures between 30 – 50 meters, including huge walls and a tower of 10 meters high. Could it be an ancient settlement, base or a shipwreck built a long time ago when Antarctica was not yet a frozen contingent or is it something extraterrestrial?

A new study led by NASA researchers shows that half-a-dozen key glaciers in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet are in irreversible decline. The melting of these sprawling icy giants will affect global sea levels in the centuries ahead.
It covers about 98% of the Antarcticcontinent and is the largest single mass of ice on Earth. It covers an area of almost 14million square kilometres (5.4million square miles) and contains 26.5million cubic kilometres (6,400,000 cubic miles) of ice. That is, approximately 61 percent of all fresh water on the Earth is held in the Antarctic ice sheet, an amount equivalent to about 58 m of sea-level rise. In East Antarctica, the ice sheet rests on a major land mass, but in West Antarctica the bed can extend to more than 2,500 m below sea level. Much of the land in this area would be seabed if the ice sheet were not there.
In contrast to the melting of the Arctic sea ice, sea ice around Antarctica was expanding as of 2013. The reasons for this are not fully understood, but suggestions include the climatic effects on ocean and atmospheric circulation of the ozone hole, and/or cooler ocean surface temperatures as the warming deep waters melt the ice shelves.
Southern Sea Ice ... If the loss of the glacier leads to the collapse of the WestAntarctic ice sheet, that number soars to more than 10 feet (3 meters) ... Loss of sea ice was and remains a concern for life along the Antarctic coastline.
... through, creating thriving ecosystems in otherwise less productive areas," said Laura Taylor, a biogeochemist on the BritishAntarcticSurvey's 2023 BIOPOLE cruise to study the effects of ice sheets.
The Antarctic ice sheet has experienced periods of sudden melting, according to a new climate record from over 20 million years ago ... The Antarctic ice sheet has not been a static feature; it has varied in size throughout its long history.
These include the potential collapse of the Greenland and WestAntarctic ice sheets, which are on track to unleash up to 10 metres of sea-level rise and worsen food insecurity for at least half a billion people.
... away at the underside of the WestAntarctic ice sheet could lead it to collapse into the sea ... “We’re never going to stand up and say, ‘Today is the day the West Antarctic ice sheet is collapsing.
Geoscientists have created a new climate record for early Antarctic ice ages. It reveals that the early Antarctic ice sheet melted more rapidly than previously thought ... .
"Research on the WestAntarctic Ice Sheet has had some exciting new developments in the past decade, and not all experts agree with these findings," says O'Reilly.
Known as the Antarctic ice sheet, this colossal mass holds nearly 90% of the planet’s ice and around 70% of its fresh water. The ice sheet stretches across an area of 5.4 million square miles and ...
With parts per million of carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere instead of decreasing, the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melting more rapidly, acidification reducing 56 per cent of the ...
Climate alarmism, global warming orthodoxy, and end-of-the-world climate doom continue to dominate mainstream media. For example, in 2023, Financial... .
... These stray sequins and all those dumped in landfill leach microplastics, tiny particles invisible to the human eye that have now been found everywhere from breast milk to the Antarctic ice sheet.
