Antarctic sea ice reached its third-lowest winter maximum in satellite records; the latest measurement adds another data point to scientists’ assessment of long-term changes in polar ice
Arctic sea ice is shrinking in both winter and summer, with satellite records revealing that the region's remaining ice is becoming thinner, younger, and more vulnerable to melting. Despite a recent slowdown in summer losses, scientists warn that the Arctic could experience a nearly ice-free summer before 2050.
