Same story continues in the #Antarctic over the last few days. Sea ice extent remains more than 2 million square kilometers below average and easily a record low for the date.

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

#Antarctic sea ice continues as the lowest on record for the date (in the satellite-era). The visual here shows how anomalous it actually is for this time of year.
