Slowdown in Arctic ice melt ends after largest winter decline on record
A previously recorded slowdown in Arctic sea ice decline has ended, with the largest year-to-year wintertime reduction ever recorded. A study found the slower reduction over the past 20 years was 'temporary rather than sustained', and no statistically significant decline was recorded between 2005 and 2024.
