An animated video representing changes in sea ice extent during the last 20,000 years, was reported by CNN in 1999:
.
“The purpose of the visual is to emphasize the changes that have taken place,” said Robert Bindschadler, a glaciologist at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
“During the last 20,000 years, the west Antarctic ice sheet lost two-thirds of its mass and raised the sea level 10 meters. It still contains enough ice to raise the sea level by another 5 meters if it were to lose the remainder of its mass,’ Bindschadler said.
