It has been a sobering week. At the time we were initially caught by the sea ice, the Shokalskiy was just 2 to 4 nautical miles from open water. Now the sea ice distance has become even greater with the continued winds from the east, putting our nearest point of exit at some 16 naut...
National Snow and Ice Data Center, along with NASA, announced that Antarctic sea ice reached its winter maximum for 2023 on September 10. Content continues belowThis Charctic graph of sea ice extent for Antarctica shows ...
This graph shows Antarctic sea ice extent from 1979-2022, and so far in 2023. Inset is a zoomed view of the late-summer minimums, comparing the 1.875 million sq km extent on Feb. 15, 2023, to the previous record low on Feb. 25, 2022 (1.92 million sq...
While everyone seems to be watching the Arctic extent with intense interest, it's bipolar twin continues to make enough ice to keep the global sea ice balance near normal. These images from Cryosphere today provide the details. You won't see any mention
that a collapse of Antarctic ice is imminent, followed by 3-4 meters of sea-level rise. It’s all based on a model that they took back in time to 14,000 years ago to model “meltwater pulse 1A” seen in the graph below. The only problem is, we aren’t coming out of an...
(Phys.org)—Two weeks after a new record was set in the Arctic Ocean for the least amount of sea ice coverage in the satellite record, the ice surrounding Antarctica reached its annual winter maximum—and set a record for a new high. Sea ice extended ove
Antarctic sea ice covers between 1% (summer) and 5% (winter) of the global ocean, and influences an even larger area, the sea ice region. It is a vast biome composed of multiple habitats such as the upper and lower ice surfaces, snow cover, brine channels, melt ponds, ice openings and...
More than 60% of meteorite finds on Earth originate from Antarctica. Using a data-driven analysis that identifies meteorite-rich sites in Antarctica, we show climate warming causes many extraterrestrial rocks to be lost from the surface by melting into the ice sheet. At present, approximately 5,...
