   Does Antarctica have ice?

   • Some seas around Antarctica are virtually ice-free by March. Then, as Antarctic winter approaches, the ice begins to grow again. At its most expansive, the sea ice covers an area the size of Antarctica itself – essentially, the frozen continent doubles in size. But the amount of sea ice has been slowly decreasing in recent years.

   Will Antarctica become more ice-free after 2100?

   • Beyond 2100, as the anthropogenic signal of climate change becomes more pronounced across the entire Antarctic continent 5, 6, we might expect mainland Antarctica to eventually experience more substantial transformation of ice-free areas.
