✧ aurora ✧
An aurora is a natural light display in Earth's upper atmosphere, caused by charged particles from the Sun colliding with atmospheric atoms. The collisions excite oxygen and nitrogen, producing colours including green, red and purple. Auroras occur mainly in high-latitude regions: the Arctic aurora is called the aurora borealis or the northern lights, while i...

One of the regions that contributed to the rapid decline in #Antarctic sea ice was in the Amundsen Sea. This area can see rapidly changing ice conditions from week-to-week along the ice edge, such as due to changes in local weather patterns.

Yesterday I showed how global sea ice cover has taken a rapid tumble, so here's a closer look at that change in #Antarctic sea ice. It's currently the 2nd lowest extent on record for the date.

Global sea ice cover has taken a nose dive this week, mostly due to a sudden drop in #Antarctic sea ice extent. Though, both poles are well below the long-term average.

One of the many presentations at #scar2026 showing @ZLabe's #seaice graphs to illustrate the scale of anomaly in #antarctic sea ice in recent years 👍.

Enjoying the Scientific Committee on #Antarctic Research Open Science Conference in Oslo. The organizers underestimated the number of people who would want to attend, so some posters had to be assigned to a digital gallery. As a convener, I felt obliged to allocate my own presentation to a digital poster, but I brought a printed copy with me in case anyone in the session didn't turn up. Yesterday colleagues mentioned that one poster presenter wasn't able to come, so this morning I claimed the vacant board.

In July 2026, the #SeaIce global extent was 7.8% below 1991-2020 mean. Since the beginning of records (1978):
- #Arctic, 6th lowest monthly mean, with 9.6% less extent than normal (-878,322 km²)
- #Antarctic, 5th lowest monthly mean, with 6.4% less exent than normal (-1,044,619km²)

Last month was the 5th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of July.
This was 950,000 km² below the 1981-2010 July average. Data from https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index.

my features published in @CurrentBiology this year, issue 14: The #Antarctic is in danger of losing both its ice cap and its biodiversity. Both issues are of course linked to the #climateCatastrophe. https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/07/antarctic-in-danger.html #science #environment #seaLevelRise #oceans #penguins #ecology
