Antarctic winter sea ice hits third-lowest level on record

Antarctic winter sea ice has fallen to the third-lowest level ever recorded, with scientists warning that the decline is now a structural problem rather than a one-off anomaly. Researchers say persistently low ice extents in recent years suggest a lasting shift in the Southern Ocean, with consequences for global ocean circulation, ecosystems and sea-level rise.
Why now: New data showing another record-low Antarctic sea ice extent confirms fears of an accelerating climate trend.
