The loss of ice in Greenland and Antarctica has raised sea levels by more than 3 cm since 1970, according to satellite data.

Satellite data collected since the 1970s indicates that the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have lost approximately 11 trillion metric tons of ice. This significant reduction in frozen mass has contributed to a global sea-level rise of more than 3 centimeters over the same period.
The volume of melted ice is described as sufficient to cover a vast area with a thickness of 1.5 meters. These findings represent the most extensive satellite-based record of ice sheet changes to date, highlighting the ongoing impact of environmental shifts on polar regions.
