December 18 , 2024 5 days 67 0
  • Arctic’s waters have less than one million square kilometres of sea ice by 2030.
  • Thus, the first ice-free day in the Arctic Ocean could occur before 2030.
  • In the last 40 years, the sea ice extent has been decreasing by 12.6% each decade.
  • This pace of decline is unmatched by any point in at least the last 1,500 years.
