Antarctica's ice is primarily melting from below due to warm circumpolar deep water currents that carry heat beneath ice shelves, creating hidden cavities that weaken the ice structure and cause thinning of several meters per year, with over 50% of Antarctica's ice loss now coming from submarine melting rather than surface melting.

š Antarctica Is Breaking From Below āļøHinzugefügt:
Most people think Antarctica melts from the top, but the real danger is below.
From above, it looks frozen, solid, untouched.
But underneath, warm ocean water is slowly eating the ice.
Deep ocean currents called circumpolar deep water carry heat beneath massive ice shelves. When this warmer water flows underneath, it transfers heat directly to the ice, causing it to melt from below. This creates hidden cavities that weaken the ice from the [music] inside. In some regions, ice shelves are thinning by several meters every year, even while the surface [music] still looks stable. And here's the scary part.
The ice can look completely fine right before it suddenly collapses. Scientists estimate that over 50% of Antarctica's ice loss now comes from melting underneath, not from the surface.
So, when collapse finally happens, it feels sudden, but the damage has been building for years. So, what do you think?
Is this still under control or already a ticking time bomb?
