A map shows the minimum sea ice extent and glacial loss (2010 to 2020), marked by blue circles. The largest glacial loss is in the Gulf of Alaska, 83.1 gigatons, and the smallest in Iceland, Antarctic, and Subantarctic, 3.5 gigatons.

Loss of glacial ice between 1961 and 2016 measured using satellite imagery and field observations.
