    In summary:

    Antarctica lost 3 trillion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017, according to a
    new analysis of satellite observations
    .

    In vulnerable West Antarctica, the annual rate of ice loss has tripled during that period, reaching 159 billion tonnes a year. Overall, enough ice has been lost from Antarctica over the past quarter-century to raise global seas by 8 millimetres.
