Since 1979, Arctic sea ice has declined significantly, with satellite data indicating a reduction of about 40% in summer minimum extent. The Arctic has warmed dramatically, leading to thinner ice and a shorter freeze season. This decline is a key indicator of climate change and has profound implications for global weather patterns, wildlife, and sea levels.

The data is being reported by the University of Illinois's Arctic Climate Research Center, and is derived from satellite observations of the Northern and Southern hemisphere polar regions.
