(Australian Antarctic Division (Photo: Paul Brown, Australian Maritime College)) Scientists at institutions in the United States and Australia on Friday published a set of unprecedented ocean observations near the largest glacier of the largest ice sheet in the world: Totten glacier, East Antarctica. And the result was a troubling confirmation of what scientists already feared â Totten is melting from below.
The Arctic isn't quite as cold as Antarctica, and here are some reasons why: A massive ice sheet covers almost all of the Antarctic continent. Although glaciers are common in the Arctic, Greenland has the only permanent ice sheet, but it's only about 1/8 the size of the Antarctic ice sheet.he ice cap over the Arctic Ocean is always moving because of the winds above it and the ocean currents beneath it. This movement causes large cracks (called leads) to open up-even in winter-and this allows ocean heat to escape into the air. Land loses heat faster than water.
