This statistic displays key information on the ice loss from Antarctica and subsequent sea level rise for the period before 2012 to 2017. Prior to 2012, the annual ice loss rate was 76 billion metric tons per year. This ice loss rate has tripled to 219 billion metric tons since 2012 and as a result, has caused the sea level to rise about 0.6 millimeters.
