Yes, sea ice in the Antarctic and especially in the Arctic is melting, more and more each summer. In the Arctic this is causing serious problems for polar bears who rely on sea ice during a long winter to catch their prey, seals, and build up enough fat in themselves and their pups to survive the summer.
