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 ...
In February 2023, Antarctic sea ice set a record minimum; there have now been three record-breaking low sea ice summers in seven years. Following the summer minimum, circumpolar Antarctic sea ice coverage remained exceptionally low during the autumn and winter advance, leading to the largest negat...
Sea ice around Antarctica reached a record low for the second straight year this month,scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Cent er announced. "Antarctic sea ice has likely reached its minimum extent for the year,at 691,000 square miles on February 21,2023," the data center said...
Sea ice in the Antarctic area fell to a record low this year. The drop is a result of rising temperatures worldwide. And there is no quick fix to make up for the damage, scientists said recently in a new study. Antarctica’s minimum summer ice cover, which last year dropped below 2 ...

This record-low extent so far in 2023 is a continuation of a downward trend in Antarctic sea ice that started after a record high in 2014. Prior to 2014, ice surrounding the continent was increasing slightly by about 1% per decade."
Startlingly, the record lows this year and in 2022 are about 30 percent below the 1981-2010 average. "These low sea-ice conditions may have important implications for the stability of Antarctic ice shelves and ultimately for global sea level rise," said Burgess. ...
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...
Antarctic sea ice hit record-low levels in 2023.Monthly mean sea ice concentrations around Antarctica in 2023. (C3S/ECMWF/EUMETSAT ) "The extremes we have observed over the last few months provide a dramatic testimony of how far we now are from the climate in which our civilizat...
The summer Antarctic sea ice extent also hit a record low in February, breaking the previous mark set in 2022. 'Antarctica could become Earth's radiator' Read more: Antarctica heatwave linked to climate change 'Sea ice in Antarctica at record low for June' ...
