☆ Antarctic winter sea ice hits 'extreme' record low

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.

☆ Antarctic winter sea ice hits record low, sparking climate worries

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 at a 'mind-blowing' historic low
  + stars: | 2023-09-17 | by ( Marta Biino | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
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.

☆ Antarctica is missing an Argentina-sized amount of sea ice – and scientists are scrambling to figure out why
  + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Sophie Tanno | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Antarctic sea ice has fallen to unprecedented lows for this time of year. Every year, Antarctic sea ice shrinks to its lowest levels towards the end of February, during the continent’s summer. In mid-July, Antarctica’s sea ice was 2.6 million square kilometers (1 million square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average. While natural climate variability affects the sea ice, many scientists say climate change may be a major driver for the disappearing ice. A lack of sea ice could also have significant impacts on its wildlife, including krill on which many of the region’s whales feed, and penguins and seals that rely on sea ice for feeding and resting.

☆ Antarctic sea ice has been at record low levels for months — here's what that means
  + stars: | 2023-07-11 | by ( Catherine Clifford | In Catclifford | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
Xinhua News Agency | Xinhua News Agency | Getty ImagesAntarctic sea ice has been at record low levels for the past few months. What the record low sea ice in the Antarctic meansZoom In Icon Arrows pointing outwards The blue line sows the amount of sea ice in the Antarctic in 2023. Why the sea ice levels in the Arctic are more damningThe Arctic is an ocean covered by a layer of sea ice and surrounded by land. So the change below the surface in the Arctic sea ice is much more pronounced than the change in Antarctic sea ice," Meier told CNBC. While the sea ice does not directly contribute to sea level rise, melting land ice does.
