I WONDER - What Type Of Water Are Polar Ice Caps Made From?

The video discusses the critical role of Earth's ice, particularly in Antarctica, as a guardian of freshwater. It highlights the immense volume of ice sheets, which can be over 4 kilometers thick, and their function as a buffer that gradually releases freshwater into the oceans. This process influences global sea levels. The video also addresses the impact of ice cap melting, especially during summer, on rising sea levels, which affects coastal ecosystems and human settlements worldwide.
