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) -

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🧵🌐 The hairy ball #theorem says you can’t comb a #sphere smooth without a cowlick somewhere.
The same rule explains why #Earth always has a #cyclone spinning, why #fusion reactors use #doughnut shapes, and why omnidirectional antennas can’t exist. #Wind patterns over the #Arctic and #Antarctic circles illustrate the proof.

Bon allez, une fois n’est pas coutume, j’ai posé avec ma carte marine avant de la confier à son nouveau propriétaire... 😄📜 Oui, je suis en t-shirt, dehors, en Antarctique ! ❄️🙃 Oui, j’avais un peu froid ! Mais promis, je ne suis pas restée longtemps ! 🥶😂
📣 Je peins des cartes marines 🌍 sur commande 🖌️📨. Contactez-moi si vous êtes intéressé(e) ! 😊

"An international team of scientists announced [in January] they’ve successfully drilled one of the oldest #IceCores yet, penetrating nearly 2 miles (2.8 kilometers) to #Antarctic bedrock to reach ice they say is at least 1.2 million years old."

Really outstanding work from Leeds Uni Remote sensing, led by Ben Davison, on observed changes to #Antarctic #IceShelves
This was a highlight presentation of @OceanIceEU workshop bringing #EarthObservation + #climateModelling communities together earlier this year - which I am now coincidentally writing up as a report + recommendations for publication as I travel by #crossBorderRail today...
Worth a read, Ben is really good at beautiful easy to interpret graphics.
