The vast majority of glacier ice on our planet lies in Greenland and Antarctica, and so it should come as no surprise that's where most of the attention and scientific effort is.

我们星球上的绝大多数冰川冰位于格陵兰岛和南极洲，因此大多数关注和科学努力都集中在这也就不足为奇了。

Of course, unlike the plentiful oxygen we breath, only 2.5% of all Earth's water is fresh; most of which is locked up in glaciers, ice caps and underground lakes known as aquifers, leaving less than 1% available for drinking.

当然，与我们呼吸的充足氧气不同，地球上只有 2.5% 的淡水；其中大部分被锁在冰川、冰盖和称为含水层的地下湖泊中，只有不到 1% 可供饮用。
