Winter sea ice in the Antarctic hits record low: Data

Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest ever recorded annual maximum extent, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Scientists believe the decline is likely linked to warming in the uppermost ocean layer. The maximum extent of 16.96 million square kilometres was also one of the earliest on record, reaching it 13 days earlier than the 1981 to 2010 median date of 23 September. The long-term downward trend in Antarctic sea ice has been a topic of debate, with evidence of a climate crisis link emerging recently.

The sea ice extent was 1.03 million square kilometers smaller than the previous record set in 1986. (REUTERS)
