The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research used a computer simulation to measure the volume of the ice from East Antarctica and stated that the melting of these ices will impact the sea level making it uncontrollable for another thousands of years. The air above Antarctica is cold, but what cause it to melt is the warm water. Levermann, the head of PIK's researcher, stated that West Antarctica is already unstable, that means the East is also at risk. As the ice melt, it will rise the sea level by 300-400 cm. Because of the rise of sea level, this put coastal cities at risk. In addition, the researchers believed that the greenhouse-gases is also making the ice melt uncontrollable.
