These Wonders of The Earth Are Going Extinct

Antarctica’s polar ice caps are melting

With the rate of climate change increasingly rapidly each year, Antarctica’s ice caps are slowly melting away, not just harming the climate, but causing detrimental effect to the animals including emperor penguins, seals and polar bears, and their habitats.

The ice caps provide 90 per cent of the planet’s freshwater and the rising temperatures are causing the glaciers to melt. The excess water that comes from the glaciers can cause flooding on surrounding islands.
