As global average temperatures continue to rise, it’s becoming increasingly clear that ice at the poles is melting faster than ever before. This is bad news considering that Antarctica alone holds over seven times more land-ice than all other sources in the world combined and contains enough water to raise global sea levels by 190 feet, according to NASA.

Now, a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that annual ice mass loss in Antarctica increased by six times between 1979 and 2017, corresponding to a sea level rise of more than half an inch in that period.
