We have monitored the changes that have occurred over nine Antarctic ice shelves between 1997 and 2019 using Sentinel-1 and RADARSAT-1 images of Antarctica using change detection technique. The net loss of Antarctic ice shelves during the period was about 14,723 sq. km in surface area, corresponding to 1.21% area of ice shelves. The Ross and Filchner–Ronne ice shelves retreated significantly in terms of total area, while shelves in that Antarctic Peninsula, namely Wilkins and Larsen C retreated drastically in terms of percentage change.
