A recent study has revealed that the water surface in Antarctica indicates rapidly melting ice. This has raised some concern among scientists.
The study regarding the melting of ice in the Antarctica has been published in the journal Nature. The study suggests that there has been more melting than researchers previously estimated.
There were more drainages of meltwater flowing in certain areas on the Antarctica that scientist did not expect. The study also indicated that it is a unique activity that water can be found flowing in this part of the globe.
The ice in Antartica is rapidly melting, according to the recent study. This is an unprecedented thing.
Scientists are attempting to determine how the flowing meltwater would affect the melting of the ice shelf in the Antarctica. The reported flow systems were discovered to have started at the Antarctic mountains.
The melting process starts during the Antarctic summer and could get bigger as the years move on. There have been reports of ice shelves breaking away from the Antarctic. This means that there has been a major melting process.
The recent study has alarmed scientists because of the vast flowing meltwater.
