Sea Ice Sinks To Record Lows At Poles
2017 CE • Antarctica
“On Feb. 13, the combined Arctic and Antarctic sea ice numbers were at their lowest point since satellites began to continuously measure sea ice in 1979. Total polar sea ice covered 6.26 million square miles, which is 790,000 square miles less than the average global minimum extent for 1981-2010 — the equivalent of having lost a chunk of sea ice larger than Mexico.”
