#PhotoOfTheDay: #ARCSIX Analyzes Arctic Sea Ice Loss

In summer 2024, NASA scientists went to northern Greenland to study how clouds and atmospheric particles may be contributing to the ongoing loss of multiyear sea ice.

The minimum extent of Arctic sea ice has declined by about 12 percent per decade, dropping from 7.54 million square kilometers in September 1980 to 4.37 million square kilometers in September 2023.
