Last month, less sea ice covered the Arctic Ocean than in any other July since scientists began keeping track of it with satellites in 1979, marking another step toward a devastating and planet ...

the maximum of Arctic sea ice extent is reached. Slowly through spring, then accelerating through summer, most of that ice breaks up and melts away. Essentially, the extent of Arctic sea ice more ...

Arctic sea ice reached a record low in March 2025, marking the lowest extent in the 47-year satellite record. The shrinking sea ice, attributed to rising global temperatures from burning fossil ...

The extent of sea ice blanketing the Arctic this winter fell to the lowest level on record, researchers announced this week, an ominous signal about the effects of climate change in the world’s ...

Arctic sea ice extent appears to have reached its annual maximum on March 22, 2025. This is the lowest maximum in the 47-year satellite record, with previous low maximums occurring in 2017, 2018, 2016 ...

Nearly all of the Arctic’s sea ice could melt by the summer of 2027, a group of international scientists has warned. “The climate models show that unless we can stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius ...

Reference: “Arctic freshwater outflow suppressed Nordic Seas overturning and oceanic heat transport during the Last Interglacial” by Mohamed M. Ezat, Kirsten Fahl and Tine L. Rasmussen, 27 October ...

Scientists discovered that in the distant past, growing inflows of freshwater from melting Arctic sea-ice into the Nordic Seas likely significantly affected ocean circulation, sending temperatures ...

This summer, Arctic sea ice has retreated to near-record lows in the Northern Hemisphere, continuing the decades-long trend of shrinking and thinning ice cover in the Arctic Ocean. This is the ...

The Arctic summer sea ice minimum also stayed low this year, at 4.28 million km² (1.65 million mi²), making it the 7th lowest minimum in the satellite record. So far, 2012 saw the record minimum ...
