NASA: Winter Arctic Sea Ice at Historic Low

Melinda Webster, a sea ice scientist at the University of Washington, said the data indicates the climate is changing.

Arctic sea ice has weakest winter buildup

Arctic sea ice had its weakest winter buildup since record-keeping began 47 years ago, a symptom of climate change that will have repercussions globally, scientists said this week.

Arctic sea ice hits record low for peak growth period

Arctic sea ice had its weakest winter buildup since record-keeping began 47 years ago, a symptom of climate change that will have repercussions globally, scientists said this week.

Never before has there been so little sea ice at the North Pole at the end of winter as now. This was reported by NASA and the American Center for Snow and Ice Data NSIDC based on preliminary figures. The ice surface has been steadily decreasing since satellite measurements began in the late 1970s. Every year in mid-September, the sea ice reaches its lowest point. As it gets colder, the ice starts to grow again. It then reaches its maximum exten…
