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 km). The panel to the right shows how the sea ice extent had already dropped below historic low levels back on ...
While the Antarctic sea ice has expanded beyond levels that researchers have seen in the past, experts point to overall atmospheric changes, including shifts in pressures and winds, which can drive ice formations. TheNational Snow and Ice Data Centerreported that as of Sept. 19, for the first ...
It looks like Antarctic sea ice reached its max extent for 2018 on 2 October, at 18.15million km2. Bases First plane of the season lands at the South Pole 15 October, 2018 —by Nicholas O'Flaherty First plane of the season lands at the South Pole. ...
Experts speculate that the Antarctic sea ice system has entered a new regime of much lower ice extent.
Good News: Antarctic Ice Is Growing. Bad News: Sea Levels Are Still RisingA new analysis by NASA scientists finds that Antarctica's volumeof ice cover is growing overall,...Meador, Ron
On theirArctic Sea Ice News and Analysisblog, scientists from the University of Colorado wrote: "Comparing winter and summer sea ice trends for the two poles is problematic since different processes are in effect. During summer, surface melt and ice-albedo feedbacks are in effect; winter processe...
Sea-ice forms in the continent's winter (March to October) before largely melting in summer, and is part of an interconnected system that also consists of icebergs, land ice and huge ice shelves - floating extensions of land ice jutting out from the coast. ...
“Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up,” the Australasian Antarctic Expedition said in a statement. Turney later told FoxNews.com the ice surrounding his ship is old, rather than recently formed, and likely from a particular 75 mile-long iceberg that ...
arctic-news.blogspot.com [From the quoted article] A double Blue Ocean Event could occur in 2025. Both Antarctic Sea Icle and Arctic Sea Ice could virtually disappear in 2025. A Blue Ocean Event (BOE) occurs when Sea Ice extent falls to 1 million km² or less, which could occur earl...
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...
