What’s this graph about you wonder? At Palmer Station Antarctica, starting in late July 2018, severe fissuring of the glacial sheet was equal to a magnitude 6 earthquake. What normally takes several hundred years occurred in one day in a section a little larger than Connecticut. This glacier helps lock down the others in place. Summer is coming to Antarctica and It’s already melted about 400 million tonnes of glacier.

The ongoing loss of multi-year (old) sea ice is one of the most significant components of #Arctic climate change. Younger sea ice is generally thinner and more vulnerable to melt with numerous impacts to society and the polar ecosystem.
