Hello there Greenzoners!
One of the largest shelves of Antarctica is called Larsen B – and in a period of over 35 years it has lost over 2000 square kilometers and it’s still declining, mostly because of rising temperature. Antarctica consists of more than 2/3 of Earth’s freshwater supply, which makes ocean levels to rise .
Scientists are aware that the warming of Antarctica may affect the population of penguins, whose homes and habitats are being threatened.
