The summer ice melt in parts of Antarctica is at its highest level in 1,000 years, according to Australian and British researchers. The study, conducted by the Australian National University and the British Antarctic Survey, used ice core data to show that the summer ice melt has been 10 times more intense over the past 50 years compared to 600 years ago. The research highlights the impact of global warming on Antarctic glaciers and ice shelves, with temperatures increasing by 1.6 degrees Celsius over 600 years. The findings were published in the Nature Geoscience journal.
