World's sea ice plunges to a record LOW: Shocking maps reveal how the North and South Poles are both missing thousands of miles of ice

Scientists warn that the world's sea ice - the frozen ocean water at the North and South Poles - has plunged to a record low.



The world's sea ice has reached a record low, with the combined extent of Arctic and Antarctic ice on February 13, 2025, measuring 15.76 million square kilometers, significantly below the 1981-2010 average. The Arctic's ice extent was 5.26 million square miles, while the Antarctic's was 819,308 square miles, both below historical averages. Warmer air and water temperatures, driven by global warming, are the primary causes, as 2024 was the hottest year on record. This decline impacts polar ecosystems, as sea ice is crucial for reflecting sunlight and supporting marine life.
