The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming.

Incredibly worrying. I’ve been keeping my eye on this. Now, going into an el Niño charged summer with an already significantly lower sea ice extent is potentially catastrophic. Not only because of the albedo effect but for penguin populations too.
