#ClimateCrisis
#Arctic

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? 🤔
