The melting of the Arctic and Antarctic ice is a result of climate change. This climate change includes the decline of sea ice‚ rising temperatures and the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and the Antarctic ice sheet. The Antarctic Ice Sheet covers around ninety-eight percent of the Antarctic continent and is the largest body of ice on earth. The Greenland Ice Sheet is the second largest body of ice; it covers more than eighty percent of Greenland. The Ward-Hunt Ice Shelf is the largest single
