More than 3,000 billion tonnes of ice has been lost in the Antarctic's fastest-changing region - the Amundsen Sea Embayment - in just 25 years. Located in West Antarctica, the Amundsen Sea Embayment is comprised of 20 major glaciers and covers more than four times the surface area of the UK. If its glaciers fully melt, so much water is held in its snow and ice that global sea levels would rise by more than a metre.
