Less major glaciers in Antarctica and accelerating, scientists report. Matsushima extreme southwest of the continental glaciers, or about twice the size of Scotland, the ice has declined four times faster than the previous 10 years.
This study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letter, said the case less than inland ice. While this rate, scientists at the main part of the glacier is 100 years and six times before disappearing faster than previously thought.
We can not reach the area glaciers in Antarctica Matsushima - from the location of the nearest 1,000 kg or more - is overlooked by many years. Now scientists from the past 15 years using satellites to measure we can track the development of glaciers.
"Ice is scrawny pine, may accelerate this date if no continuity of satellite instruments to show the largest in Imbalance cryosphere and also we will know about it, "Professor Andrew is a shepherd Lee University, co-author, speaking from the school's research environment around
"In the past 15 years of recording measurements is hidden in the ice and wondrousness previous service. To identify the subtlety changed dramatically, "he added.
Scientists have linked this trend to global warming even though this early in the retreat of glaciers of Antarctica, caused by warming of the sea around I think.

"The ice is almost pine island. 21-century sea level increases, the glaciers are accelerating slim of concern, "he is the best way to respond to the IPCC say ice Shepard enough to double the forecast.
