Younger ice (first-year ice) is shown in darker shades, while older ice (four-year or older) is shown in white. This visual shows the Arctic sea ice change and the corresponding absorbed solar radiation change during June, July, and August from 2000 through 2014. The Arctic ice pack is the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and its vicinity. The ...
The Arctic Ocean is the mass of water positioned approximately above latitude 65° N. Arctic Sea Ice refers to the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice. The Arctic sea ice minimum is the day in a given year when Arctic sea ice reaches its smallest extent, occurring at the end of the summer melting season, normally during September.
The recent arctic blast has pushed ice cover on the Great Lakes to levels not seen since 2022. Lake Erie in particular has become mostly ice covered in quick order. As of January 23, ice cover has ...
Russia's Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute has compiled ice charts dating back to 1933. Today, scientists studying Arctic sea ice trends can rely on a fairly comprehensive record dating back to 1953, using a combination of satellite records, shipping records, and ice charts from several countries.

For now, at least, the north pole is covered in sea ice 365 days per year. If C02 emissions are reduced considerably moving forward, ice will remain in the Arctic over most summer months.
She started cold-water treatment (ice therapy) in 2013 upon the recommendation of her doctor. [1] She began freediving under the Arctic ice in the 2000s. In 2015, she broke the Guinness World Record for females on March 14, 2015, diving for 50 metres under the ice in 2 °C cold water of Lake Päijänne , while only wearing a swimsuit and mask.
Antarctica is actually gaining ice mass thanks to snow and instead of driving sea level rise, it may actually be slowing it down. NASA says Antarctic ice may be growing after all Skip to main content
The impact of ice-albedo feedback on temperature will intensify in the future as the Arctic sea ice decline is projected to become more pronounced, with a likely near-complete loss of sea ice cover (falling below 1 million km 2) at the end of the Arctic summer in September at least once before 2050 under all climate change scenarios, [22] and ...
