The amount of sea ice in the Antarctic has reached a record low, with levels not seen in the past four decades of satellite observation. On 8 February.
There is currently less sea ice in the Antarctic than at any time in the forty years since the beginning of satellite observation: in early February 2023, only 2.20 million square kilometres of the Southern Ocean were covered with sea ice.
Antarctica's Thwaites glacier also called the ‘doomsday glacier’ might soon crack like a car windshield as new data has revealed a crack in its front portion.
