That’s how much ice is lost every year from Antarctica and Greenland’s ice sheets, according to new science from @NASA_Ice's #ICESat2. go.nasa.gov/3cb0bCC
But… how much ice is that, really? 🤔
🧊 would be enough to cover NYC’s Central Park in ice past the top of the Chrysler Building. When melted, it would fill 400,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
Each year from 2003 to 2019, Greenland lost 200 🧊s. Antarctica lost 118 🧊s.
