Tajia Stroud (5th Period): Why Antarctic Sea Ice Isn't Shrinking***

Summary***
   Scientists have found two tenacious geological factors as to why Antarctic Ice has been melted to nothing quite yet. First the topography of Antarctica is affecting winds and currents that drive the formation, and second, the evolution of the sea ice cover and help sustain it. Older, rougher, and thicker ice appeared in the Bellingshausen Sea surrounding Antarctica. The ice in this region is approximately 33 feet thick.

Analysis***
   I think that even though thicker and tougher ice has been found in and around Antarctica, it shouldn't make us feel like we should continue the same practices. I think that issues such as global warming and pollution are still serious problems that could damage the planet severely in the future. We should preserve the amazing parts of the earth that we still have and try even harder to reduce the amount of unnecessary, dangerous waste that we produce on a day to day basis.
