Antarctica's winter sea ice opened into a vast ocean, scientists trace cause
Original: Antarctica’s winter ice opened into a vast stretch of ocean. Scientists traced what went wrong
Scientists have traced what caused a vast stretch of Antarctica's winter sea ice to open into open ocean, an event that left a large hole in ice that would normally blanket the continent during the coldest months. Researchers say the development is significant for understanding how the region's ice is responding to changing conditions.
Why now: New scientific findings explain an unusual and dramatic loss of Antarctic winter sea ice, raising concerns about climate change in the polar region.
