Every second, six thousand tons of ice disappear from Greenland, and ice loss is accelerating in Antarctica as well. Scientists from the Institute of Geodesy and Geoinformatics have been able to monitor the state of polar regions using satellite techniques. The condition of these areas is closely linked to the increasingly frequent climate fluctuations we experience.
