Jan 23, 2025 · Color-coded map of the daily sea ice concentration in the Northern Hemisphere for the indicated recent date along with the contours of the 15% edge during the years with the least extent of ice (in red) and the greatest extent of ice (in orange) during the period from November 1978 to the present.

Jun 7, 2023 · Satellite observations and a new climate model predict that the North Pole will lose all its ice each September At the end of the century, the Arctic Ocean will remain free of ice for...

Sep 24, 2024 · Arctic sea ice retreated to near-historic lows in the Northern Hemisphere this summer, likely melting to its minimum extent for the year on Sept.11, 2024, according to researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

Dec 24, 2021 · Here is how melting in the Arctic could have detrimental effects around the globe, according to experts: The biggest long-term effect of warming in the Arctic will be sea level rise, Oscar Schofield, a professor of biological oceanography at Rutgers University, told ABC News.

In this infographic, you can discover in a simple way how the quantity of ice at the North Pole is dwindling and how it will affect global warming during the rest of the century if we do not find solutions.

Dec 8, 2020 · What happens if the Arctic melts? If the ice caps in the North pole end up completely melting, sea levels will rise and habitats will be demolished.

Jan 6, 2025 · Sea ice loss has far-reaching effects on the planet because the ice helps regulate Earth’s climate, influences global weather patterns, and affects ocean circulations. Sea Ice Today began as a way to make sea ice science and analysis more relevant and accessible.

In salt water, minus five degrees (which is the current air temperature in the North Pole) is too warm for ice to form. That means the planet’s natural airconditioner (and sun reflector) is not regrowing back this winter. Two of the ways the earth keeps itself cool have just broken down. When it comes to climate, I’m a pretty lousy citizen.

Jul 4, 2011 · In 2009, the snow became soft and meltponds started to form July 8, but never became very widespread, with the maximum meltpond extent observed around July 14-16. Meltponds were closing over by Aug 11, but small slits of open water were still visible Sept 8.

Sep 21, 2007 · Temperatures drop and ice that melted throughout the Arctic summer begins to cover the world's northernmost ocean again. Scientists have used satellite pictures since 1979 to map the extent of...
