#Antarctic sea ice is nearing its annual maximum extent (austral winter). This year will not be setting any new records, though there are plenty of regional extremes as shown in August's anomaly pattern.

In August 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 7.2% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 12th lowest monthly mean, with 9.1% less extent than normal (-617,526km²)
- #Antarctic, 4th lowest monthly mean, with 6.5% less exent than normal (1,178,424km²) -

Melting #Antarctic ice sheets may be causing larger volcanic eruptions
During #deglaciation, melting of kilometers-thick #IceSheets reduces the mass weighing down the land, which leads to #uplift. This alters the pressure inside #magma chambers lying below the Earth's surface, causing #volcanic eruptions.

"The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is the continent's largest contributor to rising seas and contains enough ice to increase the global mean sea level by over 17 feet, the study explains" https://www.commondreams.org/news/west-antarctic-ice-sheet Anyone got a map of how Dublin would look with a 5 metre sea rise? #Antarctic #SeaIce #SeaRise #Dublin
