Winter sea ice in the Antarctic hits record low: Data
Hindustan TimesSea ice in the Antarctic reached its annual maximum extent of 16.96 million square kilometers on September 10 — the lowest ever recorded — preliminary figures released by the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado Boulder showed on Monday, with scientists warning that the decline is likely “linked to warming in the uppermost ocean layer”. The sea ice extent was 1.03 million square kilometers smaller than the previous record set in 1986. In February, at the height of the austral summer, the Antarctic sea ice pack had reached a minimum extent of 1.79 million square kilometers, also a record, according to the NSIDC. Meanwhile, at the other end of the globe, where summer is drawing to a close, Arctic sea ice reached a low of 4.23 million square kilometers, NSIDC said.
