DESCRIPTION:Despite global warming\, the ozone hole is keeping Antarctica 
 colder than it would be otherwise and making sea ice grow. The Antarctic P
 eninsula is warming\, affecting penguins\; East Antarctica\, however\, is 
 still cold. Warm ocean currents reach the continental shelf off West Antar
 ctica\, melting glaciers from beneath and making them speed up. Antarctica
  and Greenland are now both losing land ice\, making sea level rise faster
  than expected. In future the continent will warm more\, land ice will mel
 t\, sea ice will shrink\, and penguin productivity will drop. There are si
 gnificant implications for coastal communities in the impending sea-level 
 rise.
