Bookmark or Share- Antarctic Sea Ice Near Historic Lows; Arctic Ice Continues Decline5 Min Read. Antarctic Sea Ice Near Historic Lows; Arctic Ice Continues Decline. On Feb. 20, 2024, Antarctic sea ice officially reached its minimum extent for the year. This cycle of growth and melting occurs every year, with the ice reaching its smallest size during the Southern Hemisphere's summer.
- Video: Antarctic Ice Mass Loss 2002-2023 - NASA ScienceResearch based on satellite data indicates that between 2002 and 2023, Antarctica shed an average of 150 billion metric tons of ice per year, adding to global sea level rise. These images, created from GRACE and GRACE-FO data, show changes in Antarctic ice mass since 2002.

- World of Change: Antarctic Sea Ice - NASA Earth ObservatoryAntarctic sea ice peaks in September (the end of Southern Hemisphere winter) and usually retreats to a minimum in February. These image pairs show the average concentration of Antarctic sea ice for the month of September (left) and the following February (right) from September 1990 to February 2021.
- Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Record Maximum - NASAThe red line shows the average maximum extent from 1979-2014. Sea ice surrounding Antarctica reached a new record high extent this year, covering more of the southern oceans than it has since scientists began a long-term satellite record to map sea ice extent in the late 1970s.
