The lowest Antarctic sea ice extent on record and glacier mass loss in parts of the Arctic are just two examples marking the continued impacts of record levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in ...

There, sea ice extent already set a new record for the smallest summer minimum on February 21, 2023. The total sea ice extent was just 1.788 million square kilometres, which was 136,000 sq km below ...

In 2023, the area of Antarctic winter sea ice was a record 1.55 million square kilometres below the expected average extent.

This graph shows Antarctic annual sea ice minimum extent, depicted as black diamonds, from 1979 to 2023, based on a 5-day running average of daily extent. In 2023 a new minimum extent was reached.

Antarctica shows a surprising trend. It has gained ice mass between 2021 and 2023. This is after decades of losses. Scientists at Tongji University attribute this to heavy snowfall. NASA data ...

Instead, the ice continued to melt. On Feb. 8, Antarctic sea ice extent set a new daily record for the lowest extent ever measured — beating out the previous record lows set back in 2017 and 2018.

Scientists have observed an encouraging trend in growth in the Antarctic Ice Sheet but remain cautious about the climate's future. A study published in Science China Earth Sciences found that the ...

A recent study has found that the Antarctic ice sheet mass has slightly increased in size in recent years, prompting a wave of claims on social media (such as here and here) that global warming ...

CANBERRA- The summer ice melt in parts of Antarctica is at its highest level in 1,000 years, Australian and British researchers reported on Monday, adding new evidence of the impact ...

In a recent study published in Science China Earth Sciences, from 2021 to 2023, the Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent an accelerated increase in mass. Researchers at Tongji University in Shanghai, led ...
