#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)

World-first footage shows #Antarctic #seafloor scoured by #cruiseship #anchors
Researchers claim to have world-first footage of damage to sensitive and biodiverse Antarctic sea floor ecosystems caused by anchors and chains.
The team behind the discovery has called for tighter regulation of Antarctic anchoring practices, particularly for the growing #tourism sector.

👉*The 5 Major Climate Tipping Points: *👈

(5/n)

...crossing are:

1) the loss of the #Greenland ice sheet,

2) the demise of the West #Antarctic #IceSheet,

3) the die-off of tropical #CoralReefs,

4) the abrupt thaw of large areas of #Arctic #permafrost +

5) the slowing of an #Ocean current known as the #NorthAtlanticSubpolarGyre."

"Other #TippingPoints include

6) the die-off of #SeagrassMeadows and #MangroveForests, and the

7) collapse of #fisheries."

#NASA says #July2023 was the hottest month ever
It’s quite obvious at this point that we’re feeling effects of #climatechange, what contributed most to July’s unprecedented #heatwave?
#SouthAmerica, #Africa, #NorthAmerica, and #Antarctic felt brunt of it. These regions experienced temperature increases around 7.2F (4C) above average, according to NASA. Globally it was also 2.1F (1.18C) warmer than the average July between 1951 and 1980, according to a NASA GISS analysis

"last year the #temperature reached an incredible 38.5°C above the mean in #EastAntarctica. Now we are seeing that the extent of #SeaIce around the continent is at an all-time low for this time of the year. This is worrying because much more winter sea ice should be forming."

Status of the #January #seaice in the #Antarctic:

- Sea-ice extent was clearly *record-low* for January this year.
- Large negative sea-ice anomalies are seen in #Bellinghausen, #Amundsen/#Ross, and even an open-water region in the eastern #Weddell Sea
