An area of ice the size of Argentina has disappeared in Antarctica
Changing climate: 45-year record broken, not frozen again after melting, 16 lakh sq km less than 2022 winter record low

Due to climate change, there are floods somewhere around the world, and the conditions of rising temperatures are seen somewhere. A report has claimed that record-breaking ice has melted in Antarctica this year. Each year, Antarctica's sea ice melts in late February during the summer and freezes back in the winter, but this year scientists found the sea ice didn't freeze near expected levels.
In mid-July this year, Antarctica's sea ice was 2.6 million square kilometers less than the 1981-2010 average. This is an area roughly as large as Argentina or the combined territories of Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado. Scientists say this is the first time in 45 years that sea ice is at such a low level. For some time, the rate of its subsidence has reached a record level.
Scientists warned that the startling decline is a sign that the climate crisis may be affecting this icy region more seriously. According to data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), this time the ice in Antarctica is about 1.6 million square kilometers less than the 2022 winter record low.
Scientists have described this incident as extraordinary. He said that such an incident is seen after many years. Ted Scambos, a glaciologist at the University of Colorado Boulder, said that this is not a simple phenomenon. Scientists are now trying to find out why this is happening.
