Qiaunci Jones- Antarctica's Sea Ice Record Shrinking Low.

Sea ice in Antarctica has hit a worrisome milestone, reaching its lowest recorded extent this week, according to data from the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center. The daily ice area recorded on Tuesday represents an all-time low: 2.22 million square kilometers (858,691 square miles). While Arctic sea ice has shown a relatively steady decline in square mileage over the past three decades as global temperatures rise (see for yourself), its southern counterpart has yielded more erratic and controversial data since monitoring began in the late 1970s. 

Global warming is real! This article is important because not only does it address the issue, but also gives us a reason to believe it. What will be the outcome I'm not sure, but it's good to be aware and knowledgable on it. Polar life is in danger. This can synthesize to the ice and polar ice caps melting.
