NASA Goddard | Arctic Sea Ice Hits Annual Minimum, Antarctic Sets New Record @NASAGoddard | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 1 day ago
Arctic sea ice likely reached its annual minimum extent on Sept. 19, 2023, making it the sixth-lowest year in the satellite record, according to researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Meanwhile, Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest maximum extent on record on Sept. 10 at a time when the ice cover should have been growing at a much faster pace during the darkest and coldest months.
