Scientists calculated to which extent the surface of the World Ocean will rise if ice of high latitudes melts completely.

Surprisingly, it is the ozone hole that prevents the quick melting of the Antarctic. Two decades ago the ozone hole was regarded as the major threat to the biosphere of the planet.
