Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Antarctic glaciologists warn of "impending ice disaster" outweighing snowfall

Poster: A snowHead

Glaciologists studying the West Antarctic ice sheets are warning of much faster rates of melt than were predicted by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) only four years ago.

In one area, around the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica, glaciers are dumping more than 110 cubic kilometres of ice into the ocean each year. This loss, which is increasing each year, is many times faster than the ice can be replaced by snowfall inland, according to Eric Rignot of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. The glaciologists warn that substantial rises in global sea levels could now occur.

US scientists are also warning of extreme climatic events affecting the American continent over the next century, due to rises in greenhouse gases affecting the atmosphere.
