Canada's Massive Glacier Melt
70-billion tonnes a year and accelerating. That is the amount of ice Canada's Arctic glaciers are reported to be losing annually.
A peer-reviewed report, Irreversible Mass Loss of Canadian Arctic Archipelago Glaciers, published in GRL, Geophysical Research Letters, found that the world's third largest ice field, after Antarctica and Greenland, will keep thinning ever faster until, by 2100, what remains will be melting at 145-billion tonnes a year.
