ICYMI: Earth’s sea ice reached a new low in 2025. 🌊🧊 Every year, sea ice cover in the Arctic grows in the dark and cold of the Northern Hemisphere winter, reaching its annual peak. Arctic sea ice hit its peak on March 22, 2025 at 5.53 million square miles (14.33 million square kilometers), making it the lowest annual peak on record. In the Antarctic, sea ice melts during the Southern Hemisphere summer to its annual minimum extent. This year, Antarctic sea ice retreated to 764,000 square miles

Sea ice update 🌊🧊 Global sea ice hit a record low this winter, NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center report. This year was the lowest Arctic sea ice maximum and the second-lowest Antarctic sea ice minimum. Sea ice forms and spreads across Arctic seas every winter. But in recent years, less new ice has been forming, and less multi-year ice has accumulated. Winter sea ice cover in the Arctic was the lowest it’s ever been at its annual peak on March 22, 2025, continuing a downward trend

Where's the ice? Historic low Superior and Great Lakes ice cover

A new look at the Arctic sea ice record reveals that the current ice cover is younger and thinner than at any time in the last 60 years. About 70 percent of Arctic sea ice is now seasonal, forming and melting within one single year. This thinner, younger ice is more susceptible to breakup and warmer temperatures. The record combines data from satellites and declassified submarine sonar measurements and stretches back to 1958. Since that time, Arctic sea ice cover has lost about two-thirds of its

Antarctic sea ice update 🌊🧊 After growing through the Southern Hemisphere fall and winter, sea ice in the Antarctic appears to have reached its maximum extent for the year on Sept. 19, 2024. This animation shows the ice extent—defined as the total area in which the ice concentration is at least 15%—at its 2024 maximum. This year, Antarctic sea ice cover peaked at 17.16 million square kilometers (6.62 million square miles), making it the second lowest maximum extent on record, National Snow and
