Sea ice in the Antarctic has dropped to a near-record low, according to the EU's Copernicus Marine Service.

New research shows that wind patterns can explain the record low in 2023 and near-record low in 2024, and that they enable accurate forecasts of sea ice extent six to nine months in advance.

Researchers show that the all-time record low in winter sea ice extent in 2023 can be explained by warm Southern Ocean conditions and patterns in the winds that circled Antarctica months earlier ...

Global sea ice cover reached record lows in February 2025, highlighting urgent climate change impacts and the need for immediate action.

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 amount of springtime sea ice in the Arctic set a record low this month, continuing a trend of shrinking ice at the top of the world.

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 ...

University of Washington researchers show that the all-time record low in winter sea ice extent in 2023 can be explained by warm Southern Ocean conditions and patterns in the winds that circled ...

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 ...
