In May 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 6.9% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 4.4% less extent than normal (-575,397km²)
- #Antarctic, 7th lowest monthly mean, with 8.7% less extent than normal (-923,279km²)
Record winter temperatures in Antarctic raise fears over speed of climate breakdown
Temperatures above 15C ‘very strange’ say scientists, as snow melts & rain falls on glaciers in usually frozen region
Scientists said the high of 15.4C broke the previous record set at the same station in 1998 by 2C. “This is absolutely crazy,” Raúl Cordero, an Ecuadorian climate professor. “It is also about 20C above normal for this time of the year. That is a huge anomaly”

Where did all the ice go kids T-shirt
A T-shirt for kids from our Scientist and Philosopher range. There is currently a crisis with the world’s large ice masses. In the Arctic the loss of sea ice could lead to the extinction of polar bears. The melting is all due to humanity’s burning of fossil fuels and the loss of ice can lead to a feedback loop since ice reflects more radiation than does the darker open water.

Last month was the 8th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of May.
This was 820,000 km² below the 1981-2010 May average. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index

The findings suggest that meltwater from glaciers is being transported and stored tens of meters below the surface, where it could alter ocean circulation, affect the movement of heat and nutrients, and influence how the region responds to climate change

Freshwater from melting Antarctic glaciers may be influencing the Southern Ocean in ways scientists have largely overlooked. New research, published in Frontiers in Marine Science, has found that glacial meltwater is not confined to the ocean's surface, as previously assumed, but can also be detected much deeper in coastal waters along the Western Antarctic Peninsula.
