A group of international researchers believe the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) which is projected to lose mass due to climate change and global ocean warming and is likely to contribute to the rise in sea levels impacting coastal communities across the world is preventable.
An international team has set up camp 700 km from the nearest base, to drill for mud and rocks holding insights about the fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
There are many home comforts that our on-ice team had to learn to do without, but delicious meals was not one!
