Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data) • about 570,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,140,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,670,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,040,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i... 🧪

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Happy valent-worm 🤣 The seamouse (actually a polychaete not a mouse) is named after the Greek goddess of love Aphrodite. And I do love them 🥰 #ValentinesDay
