Antarctic ice hits record low for January

World could face climate catastrophe soon? Antarctica sea ice hits record low, says report

Antarctica's sea ice has hit a record low and has “never witnessed such an extreme situation before,” a team of scientists said.

Antarctica sea-ice hits new record low

There is less sea-ice surrounding the Antarctic continent than at any time since satellites began to measure it in the late 1970s.

Antarctic sea ice melts to a record-smashing low, researchers report

The extent of sea ice around the southernmost continent has been on a 'sharp decline' since 2016, the US National Snow and Ice Data Center said.

Antarctica marks a new record low in the extent of sea ice and coverage may continue to fall

So far, the minimum coverage in recent years has occurred between February 18 and March 3, so it is likely that it will continue to contract.

Melting Antarctica: Sea-ice records new low as scientists fear collapse of WAIS

The sea ice surrounding the Antarctic continent is now at its lowest in history since the time people began measuring it using satellites in the late 1970s. National Snow and Ice Data Centre said that less sea ice is expected during the southern hemisphere summer, however, this year is exceptional. The coverage has been reduced to just 1.91 million square km (737,000 sq miles) by warm air, winds and water. What is more worrisome is that the melt…

Antarctica Sea Ice Melts to a Record Low, Here's How It Impacts Global Warming

The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low. Melting sea ice has no discernible impact on sea levels because the ice is already in ocean water.
