While satellites are excellent for analyzing other features of sea ice in Antarctica, including its coverage, they are less effective at determining fast ice thickness. A recent study has provided ...

Arctic daily sea ice extent continued to hover near record daily lows in January, with the ice edge well northward of its ...

Scientists have successfully analyzed more than 30 years of vital data on the thickness of landfast sea ice in Antarctica's McMurdo Sound, which will prove useful to measure future impacts of climate ...

Climate change − a global phenomenon − can neither be confirmed nor disproven by comparing Antarctic sea ice extent on two individual days.

University of Otago – Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka scientists have successfully analysed more than 30 years of vital data on the ...

The claim: Polar sea ice extents show climate change is a 'scam' A Dec. 23, 2024, Facebook post (direct link, archive link) shows a map of Antarctic sea ice extent, or area, with color coding that ...

Australian scientists are monitoring the rapid melt of Denman Glacier, one of the largest frozen rivers in East Antarctica.

By the end of 2024, Antarctic sea ice extent had recovered to 7.3 million square kilometers (2.8 million square miles)—very close to the 1981 to 2010 average, NSIDC said.

Though the sea ice pack around the South Pole had steadily expanded up until 2015, its area suddenly plummeted in 2016. The scale of the Antarctic sea ice reached a record low in 2023.

The record-breaking retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2023 has led to more frequent storms over newly exposed parts of the Southern Ocean, according to a study published last month. Scientists know ...

A Dec. 26, 2024, Instagram post shows maps of purported Antarctic sea ice extent, or area, from Dec. 24, 1979, and the same day in 2024. Text above the graphic says the extent was larger in 2024 ...
