Current models predict that ice melt from Antarctica could raise sea levels up to 12 inches (30 centimeters) by 2100. Some of this melt comes from ice sliding from the continent's bedrock into the ...

Underneath it, there’s about almost a metre of sea ice, but it’s very slushy because it’s getting late in the ice season now,” says Mortimer, who has been coming to Antarctica for 33 years.
