Antarctica lost ice 4 times size of France between 2014–2017: Study

Between 2014 and 2017, Antarctica lost an area of ice more than four times larger than the size of France, a study by NASA scientist Claire Parkinson said. The study also said that between 1979 and 2014, the sea ice cover expanded. "The Antarctic lost almost as much as the Arctic over almost 40 years," Parkinson added.
