In light of record low sea ice levels, several people have asked us for information on Sea Ice animations and images.

NASA has released new images and animations showing changing sea ice and comparing with the average between 1979-2007.

In addition, NSIDC (National Snow and Ice Data Centre) have regular updates and latest news about Sea Ice and links to a wide range of sea ice images, graphics and animations.

For information about IPY projects studying Sea Ice, please visit our first International Polar Day page that focusses on Sea Ice.
The next International Polar day, on December 13th 2007, will focus on Ice Sheets.
