1. In this place (whose name does not fit its appearance), the ice sheet is losing 163 billion tons of ice per year, up from 51 million per year in the 1990s.
2. On this continent, the ice that is part of the world’s tallest mountain range and supplies hundreds of millions of people with drinking water is melting!
3. Collapsing ice shelves on this continent—which is the least populated in the world—are moving glaciers into the sea. It is losing 81 billion tons of ice each year.
4. In this northernmost US state, 98% of the glaciers are thinning or retreating.
5. Glaciers in the tropical part of the Andes Mountains are losing ice at a rate that has tripled over the past 30 years—faster than at any time in the past 300 years.
6. This country has an extinct volcano that is the second-highest mountain on the continent (after Mt. Kilimanjaro). It is losing ice rapidly, and only 10% of its original ice covering remains.
7. On this continent, the glaciers in the Alps could disappear by the year 2100—which would destroy water supplies, hydropower, and tourism.
8. The glaciers in Glacier National Park could disappear within 20 years.
9. In this ocean, sea ice is at its lowest level in more than 1,400 years. In the very near future, it could be ice-free in the summer.
