Antarctic winter sea ice has fallen to its third-lowest level on record, coming in roughly one million square kilometres below the long-term average. Scientists say global heating is likely driving the losses and warn of a growing problem as the ice that once formed each winter increasingly fails to appear.

Why now: The record-low Antarctic sea ice extent is a stark new signal of climate change, drawing widespread attention and alarm.
