Antarctic: Sea-Ice Concentration/Extent/Thickness My visualizations: Arctic Climate Seasonality and Variability Arctic Sea Ice Extent and Concentration Arctic Sea Ice Volume and Thickness Arctic Temperatures Antarctic Sea Ice Extent and Concentratโ€ฆ

November 2024 data is now available for both Antarctic sea-ice thickness/volume (zacklabe.com/antarctic-se...) and global sea-ice volume (zacklabe.com/global-sea-i...) from GIOMAS.

Last month's global sea-ice volume is statistically tied for a record low for the month of November.

A thread with some really beautiful examples of why midwater is my favorite place to explore. From #SchmidtOcean dive 556 during their #VentUnderworld expedition. The midwater above vent sites have never failed to have amazing animals like this stunning Vitreledonella (glass octopus)! #MarineLife
