Butwillithappen?ScientistsdividetheAntarcticintothreezones:theeastandwestAntarcticicesheets;andthePeninsula,thetongueoflandwhichpointsuptowardsthesoutherntipofSouthAmerica.

"EverybodythinksthattheAntarcticisshrinkingduetoclimatechange,buttherealityismuchmorecomplex,"saysDavidVaughan,aprincipalinvestigatorattheBritishAntarcticSurveyinCambridge,U.K."Partsofitappeartobethickeningasaresultofsnowfallincreases,butthePeninsulaisthinningatanalarmingrateduetowarming.TheWestAntarcticsheetisalsothinning,andwe'renotsureofthereasonwhy."
