Last month was the 11th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of April.
This was 670,000 km² below the 1981-2010 April average. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
Lots of regional variability in terms of the sea-ice concentration anomalies across the #Antarctic region from last month. Once again, some of the largest negative departures are in the Bellingshausen Sea (along the peninsula).

Last month was full of climate extremes around the world, and it can be hard to summarize it all. Even temperatures for the #Antarctic region were at record high levels

Last month was statistically tied for the 13th lowest #Antarctic sea ice extent on record for the month of March.
This was 460,000 km² below the 1981-2010 March average. Data from nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
#Antarctic sea ice extent reached its annual minimum in late February (16th lowest on record in the satellite era). This was mostly due to strong winds in the Weddell Sea region pushing the ice equatorward, which is reflected in March's ice concentration field.

❄️ Throwback to the best #barnfind location ever! Expédition Antarctique 1966 : The Belgian Sno-Cats
Three bright orange Tucker Sno-Cats remain in a Belgian barn after the 1966 Belgo-Dutch expedition to East Antarctica. While others are in museums, these were kept privately and left in this old barn.
The sides of the vehicles bear the Expédition Antarctique 1966 logo, reportedly designed by Tintin artist Hergé in 1957.
