#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) -

Days 2-4 of my voyage to the #Antarctic Peninsula on the #tallship #BarkEuropa: crossing #DrakePassage until we sighted Smith Island, South Shetland Islands. As expected, there were some rough seas, but I didn't feel well enough to take photos in the worst conditions.

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.

In the interests of my resolution to not spread bad news, here's something positive - looks like the #Antarctic #OzoneHole is getting smaller.
My ace colleagues @dmidk have a webpage they update regularly on this stuff: http://psc.dmi.dk/antarctica/ -
The annual #ozonehole over the #Antarctic is developing again. If you want to keep track, visit our website for all the latest charts and details: https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/monitoring-ozone-layer
There you will also find the daily updated 3D rendering of the ozone hole evolution in 2024.

Giant #Antarctic #SeaSpiders reproductive mystery solved https://phys.org/news/2024-02-giant-antarctic-sea-spiders-reproductive.html
Spawning and larval development of Colossendeis megalonyx, a giant Antarctic sea spider: Amy Moran et al. https://esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ecy.4258
"To their amazement, 2 different mating groups produced thousands of tiny eggs. Instead of carrying the babies until they hatched, as in most species, one parent spent two days attaching the eggs to the rocky bottom where they developed for several months before hatching"
