Scientists
ringing alarm bells about the melting of Antarctica have focused most
of their attention, so far, on the smaller West Antarctic ice sheet,

bigger — if slower moving — threat in the much larger ice mass of East
Antarctica.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2016/05/18/fundamentally-unstable-scientists-confirm-their-worries-about-east-antarcticas-biggest-glacier/?wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_green
