Arctic Sea Ice hits annual Minimum Antarctic Sets New Record

Arctic sea ice likely reached its annual minimum
extent on Sept. 19, 2023, making it the sixth-lowest
year in the satellite record, according to researchers at
NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center
(NSIDC). Meanwhile, Antarctic sea ice reached it's
lowest maximum extent on record on Sept. 10 at a
time when the ice cover should have been growing at
a much faster pace during the darkest and coldest
months.
