John Wheeler: Arctic ice is not as old as Antarctic ice The most accepted theory based on a reconstruction of the past climate is that the North Pole has been capped in ice for about 2.7 million ...

The Antarctic sea ice is still being impacted in the form of calving (formation of icebergs by splitting of glaciers) and the melting of ice shelves, just not as quickly as it appears the Arctic ...

The Antarctic winter sea ice maximum is on track to be the second lowest on record, at 17.15 million square km² (6.62 million mi²), close to the 2023 record low of 16.96 million km² (6.55 ...

A misleading comparison of Antarctic sea ice levels on two specific days 27 years apart has been used by people online to falsely claim that climate change warnings are a scam.

Antarctic sea ice also likely reached its maximum extent for the year, at 16.96 million square kilometers (6.55 million square miles) on September 10. The 2023 maximum is the lowest in the 45-year ...

Arctic sea ice is also melting rapidly as a result of climate change and scientists predict the region will be ice-free during summer in the 2030s.

It occurs in winter north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle, which are circumpolar lines at latitude 66.6 degrees North and South respectively.

This year, Antarctic sea ice is shrinking to new winter lows for the second year in a row, with only 17.15 million km2 (6.62 million mi2) remaining on September 19, according to satellite records ...
