However, Antarctic sea ice, which surrounds the south pole, has shrunk to a near-record low. On 25 February, the Antarctic sea ice reached its minimum extent for the year, covering 722,000 sq ...

The maximum Antarctic sea ice extent in 2023, shown here, was the lowest on record. The yellow line shows the average winter maximum of satellite observations from 1981 to 2010.

PARIS, France (AFP) — Global sea ice cover fell to a historic low in February when the world continued to experience exceptional heat and temperatures reached 11 degrees Celsius above average ...

Arctic sea ice extent was approximately 8% below the 1991–2020 average for February. This significant drop can be linked to an extreme heat anomaly that saw temperatures soar over 20 C above ...

Scientists have found it difficult to capture longer-term changes to Antarctic sea ice as satellite records date from 45 years ago, but a recent reconstruction winds the record back to 1899.

In a sign of accelerating global warming, global sea ice levels hit an all-time record low in February 2025. The Copernicus Climate Change Service, which is an organization in Europe that ...

The NSIDC said the measurement of sea ice taken Saturday, March 22, 2025, was 5.53 million square miles — around 30,000 square miles smaller than the lowest previous peak, set in 2017.

Global sea ice hit a record low for February, with Arctic and Antarctic ice levels far below average. Rising global temperatures are driving ice loss, accelerating ocean warming and extreme ...
