"Deadly heatwaves, raging wildfires and record global temperatures are upon us.
But far from the flames, at the southernmost tip of the planet, something just
as shocking is unfolding.
It’s Antarctic winter, a time when the area of floating sea ice around the
continent should be rapidly expanding. This year though, the freeze-up has been
happening in slow motion.
After reaching a record low minimum extent this summer there is now an area of
open ocean bigger than Greenland. If the “missing” sea ice were a country, it’d
be the tenth largest in the world."
