Global sea ice cover hit a record low in February, researchers find
The findings from Europe’s Copernicus Climate Change Service involve the third warmest February on record for the planet.
World's sea ice cover hits record low in February
Global sea ice cover hit a historic low in February as the world endured exceptional heat, with temperatures near the North Pole soaring 11 degrees Celsius above average, Europe's climate monitor said Thursday.
Global sea ice levels just hit a new record low
Sea ice cover in both the Antarctic and Arctic remained far below average throughout February as global average temperatures linger near record highs
Antarctic sea ice hits another near-record low
Antarctic sea ice has likely reached its minimum extent for the year, at 1.98 million square kilometers (764,000 million square miles) on March 1, 2025, according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Sea ice levels drop to record lows on both poles as scientists issue warning
Humanity just received a jolt from nature. Fresh satellite data shows that sea ice at both the North and South Poles shrank to a combined extent of about 6.08 million square miles (15.76 million square kilometers) on February 13, 2025, marking a new low in modern records.
Global Sea Ice Levels Hit A Record Low, Raising Climate Concerns
Sea ice levels around the world have reached an all-time low, with both the Arctic and Antarctic experiencing severe declines. According to satellite data from the European Union’s Copernicus climate service,
Antarctic sea ice minimum hits a near-record low, again
Antarctic sea ice likely reached its minimum extent of 1.98 million square kilometers (764,000 square miles), tying for second lowest extent with 2022 and 2024 in the 47-year satellite record. This is the fourth consecutive year that Antarctic sea ice has reached a minimum below 2.
