ice loss
Polar caps diminishing
Ice loss refers to the reduction of ice mass in glaciers, ice sheets, sea ice, or permafrost regions, typically measured over time.
The term appears most often in climate science discussions: Arctic ice loss has accelerated over the past decade.
Ice loss contributes to rising sea levels and serves as a key indicator of global warming.
