Both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extents have, reportedly, remained below average all year. But ever since the satellite recording began 43 years ago, this is the lowest minimum level that Antarctic sea ice has shrunk to.
A study led by Ohio University researchers shows that the increase of sea ice surrounding Antarctica since 1979 is a unique feature of Antarctic climate since 1905 -; an observation that paints a dramatic first-ever picture for weather and climate implications on the world's southernmost continent.
