Antarctic sea ice has again reached a record low for its winter peak, continuing a trend seen over the past three years. Scientists, including Will Hobbs of the University of Tasmania, warn that the planet's climate system may be more sensitive to the loss of sea ice than previously understood, and researchers are still working to quantify the wider consequences of the continued decline.
Why now: A third consecutive record-low winter ice peak is an alarming climate milestone with uncertain global consequences.
