The record follows a trend over the past three years of anomalously high winter ice extents, providing a stark contrast to the inexorable decline of Arctic sea ice
"It’s a record-smashing sea ice low in the Antarctic. Sea ice growth appears low around nearly the whole continent as opposed to any one region," Walt Meier, a sea ice scientist at NSIDC,said in a statement. And in the Arctic, he points out, the Northwest Passage has more open sea...
The record ice pack is likely due to stronger winds caused by warming temperaturesin the Antarctic, according to aNASAstatement. These circumpolar winds generally act to blow sea ice outward, except in the Antarctic Peninsula region, where winds from the north push the ice southward. Thus, sea ...
Winter sea ice has reached an "extreme" record low in Antarctica - raising fears about the impact of climate change on the region and how it could have consequences for the rest of the world. The US National Snow And Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said its preliminary figures show the lowest w...
