The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are melting at an alarming rate, according to a new study, prompting new concerns about climate change. Read more from @USAToday

OMG watch this cute sea pig!

Deep sea habitats are threatened by mining plans.

Ruth_Mottram - Good morning! Quick reminder that you can see the current state of the #Arctic #SeaIce on @polarportal where you can also see how the # Greenland Ice Sheet mass budget from GRACE and the daily surface mass budget from @dmidk Some big improvements + new data coming soon too
Last month was the 10th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of April
This was 740,000 km² below the 1981-2010 April average. Data from the NSIDC at https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
Decadal variability in average temperatures across the #Antarctic during the month of May...
Data from https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7
On the other side of the globe, #Antarctic 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.

An overall warming trend has been observed in the Antarctic continent by scientists over a long term with the speed 0.12 C per decade, China Central Television reported on Sunday citing the China Meteorological Administration

@ZLabe It is truly the last look at the CryoSat-2/SMOS (CS2SMOS). In October we will continue with CryoSat-2/Sentinel-3/SMOS (CS3SMOS) in the #Arctic. CS3SMOS will also be generated for #Antarctic #seaice.

I've added a new visualization of #Antarctic sea ice thickness averaged by year, which parallels my version for the #Arctic by design. However, unlike the Arctic, there aren't any obvious long-term trends (annual mean).
Graphic will be updated yearly at https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-figures/. GIOMAS data.
This is a story of a separation that lasted a year, with #Antarctic icebergs and airstrikes lying between them.

40 years ago today RRS Discovery III arrived at Montevideo, marking the end of my first #Antarctic and Southern Ocean research cruise. The ship had been my home for four and a half months, since 23rd November. Part of me wanted to head home, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to explore some of the sights of South America, so my adventure continued.
