In the past 10 years, the #Antarctic #seaice extent has taken on the same pattern as that seen in the #Weddell Sea.

Furthermore, the sea-ice extent in the Weddell Sea also hit an all-time low in May of 2023.

The #seaice in the #Weddell Sea now has the 3rd-lowest extent on record for this time of year. The extent was lower only in 1981 and 1999.
