Weekly Snow Science Drop ❄️🌍
This week, we’re heading north to the Arctic, where changes are happening faster than anywhere else on Earth.
🧊 The Arctic is warming three times faster than the global average.
📉 The 18 lowest sea ice extents have all occurred in the past 18 years.
🧊 Since 1979, sea ice loss has averaged 77,000 km² per year - that’s nearly the entire land area of Austria 🇦🇹.
And remember: what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.
Shrinking sea ice affects global weather systems, ocean currents, and ultimately, our winters and our sport.
