Ice sheets, which store large amounts of fresh water on land, are melting as Earth’s air and ocean temperatures warm. Antarctica is losing ice mass at an average rate of about 135 billion tons per year, and Greenland is losing about 266 billion tons per year. As ice melts, the resulting water drains into the ocean and contributes to sea level rise.
The ice sheets atop Greenland and Antarctica store about two-thirds of all the fresh water on Earth. Data collected since 2002 by the NASA-German GRACE and
