7 Potential World-Changing Consequences Of Antarctica Melting

Emergence of “Greenarctica”

Antarctica isn’t just a flat, desolate ice desert. Our modern tech revealed stuff hidden under miles of the world’s oldest ice — 400+ lakes, rivers, and canyons bigger than the Grand Canyon. If all that ice melts, these landscapes will surely pop up with unseen-before ecosystems. If you take a good look at the most recent findings, you’ll see that Antarctica’s already turning greener in certain parts. Some places like Green Island even sport lively moss. It’s not much just yet, but the moss hints it’s getting greener.
