Satellites show summer 2012 sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean shrunk to a record low
Web edition : Tuesday, September 11th, 2012
During the winter, frozen sea ice covers most of the Arctic Ocean. Every summer, a portion of that ice melts away. Government scientists who keep track of those losses during the warmer months now report this summer has been one for the record books.
On August 26, Arctic sea ice cover fell to 4.1 million square kilometers (about 1.6 million square miles). That?s the smallest ice cover ever observed since scientists started using satellite data in 1979 to measure the yearly melt, note researchers at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo.
