NASA | OIB Flights South 2014: A Sea Ice Mystery

The video explores the mystery of expanding Antarctic sea ice despite global warming. While global temperatures rise and ice melts in the Arctic, Antarctic sea ice is increasing. Scientists attribute this to stronger winds from the Antarctic continent, possibly due to the ozone hole. Additionally, increased precipitation and freshwater contribute to sea ice growth. However, the overall global sea ice is decreasing, with Arctic losses outweighing Antarctic gains. The video highlights the need for scientific observations to understand these phenomena.
