And it is true: The Amundsen Sea Embayment is one of the most important regions of the world in terms of ice melt.

These glaciers contain enough ice to cover an area the size of Denmark (43,000 square kilometres) with more than 11 kilometres of ice, which would raise the global sea level by 1.2 metres if it were to melt all at once.
