Highfield, R. Antarctic ice sheet is shrinking, but only by a fraction. Daily Telegraph. 03/03/2006.
The Antarctic ice sheet, holding about 70 per cent of the world's fresh water, is shrinking at a rate of 36 cubic miles a year, according to a study carried out by satellites. Previously it was thought that the 6,500ft-thick blanket of ice covering 98 per cent of Antarctica - a continent twice the size of Australia - was gaining more mass than it was losing as precipitation increased in a warming climate. The volume of ice lost is enough to raise the global sea level by about a tenth of an inch a year.
