Climate change played a key role in last year's record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice, a study found, marking an abrupt shift from the growth seen in previous decades.
Scientists claim that there are numerous factors that can affect sea ice melt, including winds, air temperature, and ocean water, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact source of the phenomenon
A steep decline of Antarctic sea ice may mark a long-term transformation in the Southern Ocean, and seawater intrusions beneath the Thwaites Glacier could explain its melting outpacing projections.
