As the Earth’s air and oceans warm, the ice sheet is starting to melt at an ever-faster rate. The Antarctic Ice Sheet has grounded ice, which is ice that sits on the solid Earth below it and ice shelves, which extend out from the grounded portion and float on the ocean surface. These are called marine basins.
