Zack LabeOn the other side of the globe, <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Antarctic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Antarctic</a> sea ice is beginning to rapidly expand as austral winter approaches. Last month observed quite a bit of regional variability in this area too, though it was generally below the 1981-2010 mean.Satellite-derived data provided by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
