Line graph time series of 2023's daily Antarctic sea ice extent anomalies in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2022 using shades of purple to white for each line. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2023 is a negative outlier for this time of year. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. There are no clear long-term trends.
