A huge ice floe🧊 - 58x30 km - is drifting southward in the Fram Strait! - reported by METNorway Ice Service yesterday.

We have tracked its journey across the Arctic Ocean back to its "birthplace" in the #LaptevSea, autumn 2021.

Wait for it...

Laptev sea ice extent in the Arctic is the lowest on record for this time of year.

The date at which the Laptev melts out completely is getting earlier and earlier. A clear trend. 2020 and 2021 are truly exceptional.
