#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)

#Supertrawlers Are Taking #Antarctic #Krill That #Whales Depend On

https://e360.yale.edu/features/antarctica-krill-whales

In the icy waters of the Southern Ocean, whales and other marine mammals rely on krill to survive. But as the market for human dietary supplements and animal feeds booms, and climate change reduces krill populations, scientists worry there may not be enough to go around.

This instrument is just one of many parts of the first-of-its-kind #OceanObservatory in the #SouthernOcean, launched in January in partnership with #UVIC, #SpanishNationalResearchCouncil & #OceanNetworksCanada.

The #observatory monitors temperature, water depth, oxygen & chlorophyll levels in the #ocean water. Paired to a #satellite, the observatory transmits #data every 30 mins to #researchers.

#ClimateCrisis: Antarctica’s Ocean Acidity Set to Rise Rapidly by Century’s End https://eos.org/articles/antarcticas-ocean-acidity-set-to-rise-rapidly-by-centurys-end

Severe 21st-century #OceanAcidification in #Antarctic #MarineProtectedAreas https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44438-x

"Even the cold, remote waters are no refuge from #ocean #acidification. Acidity in the ocean around #Antarctica could double by the end of the century... As acidity rises, levels of calcium carbonate decline, and organisms that build shells begin running out of material."
