Researchers on Tuesday said that the extent of sea ice in Antarctica reached only 17.0 million square kilometres on September 7
This marks the lowest level of Antarctic sea ice coverage since satellite records began
The previous winter low of 17.1 million square km was set on the same day in 2023

Due to global warming, Antarctica is constantly suffering losses. The melting of the ice sheet continues here. Now the news of breaking of a huge mountain of ice has come to light in Antarctica

Just 160 kilometres (100 miles) away in the west Antarctic, the same species is in decline due to sea ice melt blamed on global warming, they said.
)
The ice in the Arctic and Antarctic regions has long since been under scientists' radar and has been losing ice at a rapid pace.
)
The iceberg is expected to pass through the British territories of South Georgia and South Sandwich Island in the southern Atlantic Ocean.

Forensic analyses of soil samples from these caves have revealed intriguing traces of DNA from algae, mosses and small animals, researchers said.

Researchers at British Antarctic Survey in the UK deployed heated panels on the seabed on the Antarctic Peninsula to observe the effect on local marine species.

NASA's Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on Landsat 8 satellite captured a new snap of the 5,800 square kilometre iceberg that split off from the Antarctic Peninsula's Larsen C ice shelf on July 10-12.

Expeditioners stationed at Australia`s Davis station marked midwinter`s day by taking a chainsaw to the ice, cutting a small pool and taking a dip in water with a temperature of -1.8 degrees Celsius (28.76 Fahrenheit).

Researchers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Northumbria studied rocks on slopes of the Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica, whose peaks protrude through the ice sheet.
)
The new branch of the rift is 15 km long, researchers from Swansea University in the UK found. Last year, the rift was growing fast. Now, just 20km of ice is keeping the 5,000 square km piece from floating away.
)
The map was made on the expedition in Antarctica using multi-beam sonar.
)
The fleet set sail for the Southern Ocean in November, with plans to slaughter 333 minke whales, flouting a worldwide moratorium and opposition led by Australia and New Zealand.
)
The research also estimates the amount of prey (krill and fish) needed to support the Adelie penguin population.
)
The sea ice is likely to decrease further as it usually melts to its smallest for the year at the end of February in the summer of southern hemisphere, researchers said.

The Ku-band Scatterometer on-board SCATSAT-1 is ISRO’s second space borne scatterometer similar to OSCAT on-board Oceansat-2.

With 2015 ending in the nations of the world putting up a united front against climate change in Paris, the entire course of 2016 was all about making the world aware of its devastating effects, while also initiating their respective strategies to reduce carbon footprints.
)
A massive conduit of hot water was detected last year, measuring around 10 kilometres wide and 1 kilometre deep in front of the western side of the Totten Glacier.
)
The discovery may be a step ahead in explaining why sea ice in the southern hemisphere has been on the rise despite warming of the rest of the Earth.
