That's about 1 million square kilometers less ice than the previous winter record set in 1986. REUTERS/Ueslei Marcelino/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsThe summer Antarctic sea ice extent also hit a record low in February, breaking the previous mark set in 2022. Sea ice extent there grew between 2007 and 2016. The shift in recent years toward record-low conditions has scientists concerned climate change may finally be presenting itself in Antarctic sea ice. The study found that warming ocean temperatures, driven mainly by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, are contributing to the lower sea ice levels seen since 2016.

That's about 1 million square kilometers less ice than the previous winter record set in 1986. The summer Antarctic sea ice extent also hit a record low in February, breaking the previous mark set in 2022. While climate change is contributing to melting glaciers in Antarctica, it has been less certain how warming temperatures are impacting sea ice near the southern pole. Sea ice extent there grew between 2007 and 2016. The shift in recent years toward record-low conditions has scientists concerned climate change may finally be presenting itself in Antarctic sea ice.

Sea ice levels in Antarctica are at an all-time low, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reports. Levels of sea ice in the region have reached record minimums this year, like in 2017 and 2022. Sea ice, the water that freezes on the surface of the sea in the Arctic and Antarctic hemispheres, has been decreasing in both regions. In Antarctica, sea ice levels reached record lows at least twice in 2023 after record minimums were detected in 2017 and 2022. Chart showing the levels of sea ice in Antarctica.
