Openings in #seaice have begun on the Siberian shelves.
Furthermore, #Barents and southwestern #Kara seas exhibit abnormally low #iceextent.
Maps show the first two weeks of June - mean and anomaly.

I repeat myself with updated #icedrift animation:
Since the end of February, #icedrift has favored increased #seaice conditions around #Svalbard and #Barents Sea. This is a month of southward drift here!

While the #Arctic #seaice extent is 5th lowest for this day of the year, records of the day are being set:
*** Record Low ***
#Barents Sea ice extent
#Kara Sea ice extent
** Second-lowest on record **
#Svalbard region ice extent

Five consecutive days of strong northward #icedrift causes a rapid drop in the #seaice conditions in the regions of #Svalbard and northern #Barents Sea.
The drop in the #seaice extent in the #Barents Sea is difficult to miss in this figure.
Are we going towards a record-LONG #icefree Barents Sea? 🤔

Greenland will not use its fisheries agreement with Russia to fish for cod and other fish in the Barents Sea in 2023, and no Russian fishing vessels will have access to the usual quotas of halibut and other fish in Greenland’s waters. https://www.arctictoday.com/greenland-halts-cooperation-on-fish-with-russia/
