Antarctica is warming up, especially in the peninsula that goes toward South America. The break up of ice shelves is one aspect contributing to the warming of Antarctica. "We now see warming in all 7 continents" said Eric J. Steig. Scientist think that increased green house gases are also affecting the warming of the continents.
