Uh, how large is this sea ice anomaly going to get? 🥴

2. 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.

3. Antarctic Sea Ice Is at Record Lows. Is It an Alarming Shift?
  
  from Matt Simon
  
  Scientists are “watching with bated breath” to see if ice will return to normal levels. The planetary consequences could be huge.

  Antarctica's sea ice is now reforming as the continent moves deeper into the austral winter, but it's currently the smallest it has ever been for this time of year on record. This blip in the Antarctic pulse is the latest in a string of record lows that is being watched carefully by scientists.
