NASA | Arctic Sea Ice Sets New Record Winter Low

In this video, you will learn about the latest satellite observations of Arctic sea ice, which reached its annual minimum extent on Sept. 18, 2022. The ice cover shrank to an area of 4.67 million square kilometers (1.80 million square miles), roughly 1.55 million square kilometers (598,000 square miles) below the 1981-2010 average minimum. This is the 10th-lowest extent in 44 years of records, and it shows the dramatic decline of sea ice due to warmer temperatures. You will also see stunning visualizations of sea ice change in the Arctic using data from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s Global Change Observation Mission 1st-Water “SHIZUKU” satellite, which is part of a NASA-led partnership to operate several Earth-observing satellites. Watch this video and discover the vital signs of our planet and the impacts of climate change on the Arctic region.
