A NASA visualization of how small Arctic sea ice shrank to on Sept. 19, 2023. The yellow line represents the minimum's 30-year average, calculated using data from 1931 to 2010.

Arctic sea ice has been shrinking for decades, but new research now shows that the ice has been thinning up to twice as fast as we once thought. Satellites circling Earth have been documenting the ...

NASA and the data centre say Arctic sea ice reached its annual minimum extent of 4.67 million square kilometres on Sept. 18, tying for 10th lowest with 2018 and 2017.

The Arctic could be consistently ice-free as early as 2035, several years earlier than previously thought, says new research published Tuesday. When it comes to communicating what scientists ...

The 2015 Arctic sea ice minimum is the fourth lowest on record since satellite measurements began, scientists announced last week — 1.8 million square kilometres below the 1981-2010 average ...

Melting sea ice in the Arctic is opening up lanes in the ocean for the global trade route -- lanes that were previously blocked. In the near future, the melting will have a big impacts on major ...

The escalating contributions to sea level rise from a warming Arctic could place up to 1.5 million UK properties at risk of flooding and requires enhanced measures across government to address ...

A NASA visualization of how small Arctic sea ice shrank to on Sept. 19, 2023. The yellow line represents the minimum’s 30-year average, calculated using data from 1931 to 2010.

"The past 16 years [2007 to 2022] have been the lowest 16 minimum extents, with 2022 tying 2017 and 2018 for 10th-lowest in 44 years of observations," NASA said in a post to its climate website ...
