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...
"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...

About 90 percent of the Sun's energy that hits white sea ice is reflected back into space. But when sunlight hits dark, unfrozen ocean water, nearly the same amount of that energy is absorbed instead, contributing directly to a warming planet. Both the North and South pole regions have wa...
A new record low extent was set on Feb. 25 of just 1.924 million sq km. The sea ice has been expanding since then, as temperatures drop and that region of the world is plunged into the darkness of winter. However, as of June 20, the day before the...
The vast and deep Southern Ocean complicates efforts to single out the role of climate change in declining sea ice
Recent Antarctic sea-ice decline is a substantial source of concern, notably the record low in 2023 (ref.). Progress has been made towards establishing the causes of ice lossbut uncertainty remains about its consequences for ocean–atmosphere interaction. Resolution of this uncertainty is important ...
According to the NSIDC, with this record low for sea ice extent, “much of the Antarctic coast is ice free, exposing the ice shelves that fringe the ice sheet to wave action and warmer conditions.” One of the glaciers left exposed by this lack of ice...
The spring season of 2022 saw record low sea ice extent in Antarctica that persisted throughout the year. At the beginning of December, the Antarctic sea ice extent was tracking with the all-time low set in 2021. The greatest regional negative anomaly of this low extent was in the central...
