Record Low for Shrinking Sea Ice
06 March, 2025
Sea ice continues to shrink. In early February, their extent in the polar regions reached a new record low and remained below the previous record set in February 2023 for the rest of the month, reports the EU’s Copernicus climate service.
In the Arctic, sea ice extent reached its lowest ever measured for February, at 8% below average.
In Antarctica, sea ice extent was 26% below average, the fourth lowest figure recorded.
