What If All the Ice in Antarctica Melted?
Antarctica holds about 70% of the world’s freshwater and nearly 90% of its ice. If all of it melted, global sea levels could rise by around 58 meters (190 feet).
🌊 Many coastal cities would be submerged.
🏝️ Islands could disappear beneath the ocean.
👥 Hundreds of millions of people would be displaced.
🌍 Coastlines around the world would be completely redrawn.
The good news? This is not something that would happen overnight. Even under extreme warming, it would take centuries to millennia
But Antarctica reminds us of something important:
❄️ What happens at the poles affects everyone, everywhere.
🌍 Protecting the climate today helps protect the world of tomorrow.
