Emperor Penguin Population Decline in Antarctica Exceeds Prior Estimates
Satellite imagery reveals a 22% decline in emperor penguin populations across 16 Antarctic colonies between 2009 and 2024, primarily due to climate change reducing sea ice, a trend exceeding prior estimates and raising concerns about long-term impacts.

Record Low Sea Ice Extent and Record High Temperatures in February 2025
February 2025 witnessed record low sea ice extent around both poles, with temperatures nearly matching last year's record high; this follows two years of record or near-record temperatures, despite the end of El Niño, exceeding the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

Southern Ocean Salinity Rise Accelerates Ice Loss, Threatening Global Climate"
Since 2015, the Southern Ocean has experienced a dramatic shift toward higher salinity and temperature, leading to rapid ice loss and the reappearance of the Maud Rise polynya, a large ice-free area, raising concerns about the ocean's role in global climate change.

Svalbard Glaciers Retreat: A Century of Photographic Evidence
Swedish photographer Christian Aslund's before-and-after photos of Svalbard glaciers, spanning over a century, reveal a drastic reduction in glacial mass due to Arctic warming, which is happening twice as fast as the rest of the planet, and is projected to create ice-free summers by 2050.

Record Low Global Sea Ice Extent in February 2025
In February 2025, global sea ice extent fell to a record low, with Arctic sea ice 8% below average and Antarctic sea ice 26% below average, driven by rising temperatures from planet-heating pollutants and a strong Arctic warming event.

Record Low Global Sea Ice Extent in February 2024
Copernicus reports that global sea ice extent hit a record low of 16.04 million square kilometers in February 2024, with the Antarctic and Arctic experiencing significant below-average ice coverage, accelerating warming due to increased solar radiation absorption by the ocean.
