Antarctica’s west coast missing an area of sea ice the size of France as temperatures peak 20C above average. A vast area of the Bellingshausen Sea should be covered by sea ice by now, with one expert calling the loss of ice ‘depressing’
It’s more than depressing - it’s a disaster.

Not only is Antarctic sea-ice extent at a record daily low, extent just passed 4 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.
Can extent get back below 6 standard deviations, like we saw in 2023? Stay tuned!

Big science day today for us-our first ice station! We drilled ice cores to characterize the ice and sampled from an Ice pond to see what biology is there and what it’s doing. We are pretty stuck in the ice trying to drop the geology team off at Seymour Island before we can do more #oceanography 🌊🐧🇦🇶

For those keeping track, Arctic sea-ice extent continues its record daily lows.
Meanwhile, Antarctic sea-ice extent is now ranked third lowest for the day -- behind (surprise!) only 2023 and 2024.
Put this together and the planet continues to experience record daily lows for global sea-ice extent.
