A76 is 4,320 km^2 or 0.03% of the total ice cap. Antarctica covers 14.2 E6 km^2 (NBS equivalents: 20 * Texas, 2,768 * Delaware or 163,218 * Manhattan) with an average ice cap thickness of 1.9 km for a volume of 2.698 E7 km^3. (L*W*H math) Ice has a density of 9.2 E11kg/km^3. (engineering) The Antarctic ice cap (NOT sea ice!) contains 2.482 E19 kg of ice, 2.482 E16 tonne, 24.82 E6 Gt. (science) Between 2002 and 2012 the Antarctic ice cap “lost” about 1,200 Gt or a decrease of 0.0048%, 48 ppm, per decade. (technology) At this rate the ice cap will be all gone in 206,850 years. (more math) I don’t plan on waiting around. You? Every year the SEA ICE swings from around 3E6 km^2 during summer to 14E6 km^2 (doubling in size) during winter. (technology) Thwaites glacier is 192,000 km^2 or about 1.3% of the ice cap. Yawn!!!!! Version 1.0 052321
