When precipitation is reduced by a factor of ten, the ice sheets quickly achieve a slightly thinner equilibrium state. When precipitation is reduced to zero, the decline in ice volume is continuous. After 10 Myr the volume is about double that of the Pleistocene maximum, but comparable to some sea-level estimates43 for the late Precambrian (Varanger) glaciation.
