SOS from the Arctic: Record Low for Sea Ice

Arctic sea ice has reached a record low, recording the smallest extent ever measured, according to new data from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). The ice extent fell to 14.29 million square kilometers, breaking last year's record. This event, combined with the weak ice formation this year, indicates an acceleration of melting in the Arctic, with serious consequences for the climate and the environment.
