Even as winter takes hold in the Arctic, sea ice there is growing sluggishly. In Antarctica, summer’s arrival has driven sea ice to near-record lows.

A Warming Climate Continues to Ravage Sea Ice at Both Poles

With melt ponds and leads of open water dominating the Arctic sea-ice landscape, 18 runners circle a small ice floe as they complete the 2024 North Pole Marathon on July 31, 2024.

The extent of Arctic sea ice has shriveled to its lowest extent for the year, heralding the end of summer. The ice covers about 750,000 fewer square miles of ocean than average — a testament to continuing climate change.
