Arctic Sea Ice Reaches Its 2026 Minimum
Original: Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks to Its 2026 Minimum https://science.nasa.gov/earth/earth-observatory/arctic-sea-ice-shrinks-to-it
NASA's Earth Observatory reports that Arctic sea ice has shrunk to its lowest extent of 2026, marking the annual summer minimum. The annual minimum is a closely watched indicator of climate change, and each year's figure is compared against the long-term satellite record to track the pace of Arctic warming and declining ice cover.
Why now: The annual Arctic sea ice minimum is a key climate indicator, and its arrival each September draws attention from scientists and the public.
