RT by @CopernicusEU: 71 out of 162 ice shelves have reduced in volume around Antarctica.

This led to a release of almost 67 trillion tonnes of meltwater into the oceans.

But this ice loss was uneven.

Researchers found that the western part of Antarctica experience more ice loss than the eastern part - where some areas even gained ice!
