Antarctic Cover

Amid a summer of record heat, the most dramatic impact may be taking place under the cover of Antarctic night.

"Antarctic sea ice reached its lowest extent in the 45-year satellite data record," said Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of C3S.

The Antarctic Ocean area covered by ice has shrunk to a record low, exposing the thicker ice shelves buttressing Antarctica's ground ice sheet to waves and warmer temperatures, scientists reported Thursday.

After mysteriously expanding for decades, Antarctica's sea ice cover melted by an area four times greater than France in just a few years and now stands at a record low, according to a study published Monday.

Three riders on Bajaj Dominar motorcycles covered 51,000 km from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic, without any breakdown or service support.

Sea ice cover in Antarctica has dropped to its second-lowest on record, Australian authorities said Friday, adding that it was not yet clear what was driving the reduction after several years of record-highs.

Sea ice cover in Antarctica dropped to a record low this year, scientists said Wednesday, as they warned the frozen continent's unpredictable nature poses growing risks to shipping including tourist cruises.

Atop the ice sheet covering the Arctic island of Greenland, you now see dramatic melting in the summer. It forms lakes, rivers and even dangerous "moulins" in the ice where rivers suddenly plunge into the thick ice sheet, carrying water deep below.

Two Indian explorers will set out on a 35,000-km overland journey later this month in public transport from the shore of Arctic Ocean to the Antarctic to spread awareness on climate change across the world.
