Facts and Figures-61: "Antarctica losing 190,000,000,000 tons of ice per year!"

A news item in Harper's Weekly (Harper's Weekly Review, November 24, 2009) says that Antartica was now losing, hold your breath, 190,000,000,000 tons of ice per year! I am curious how scientists arrive at these mind-boggling figures.

Grateful thanks to Paul Ford and Harper's Weekly.
