Antarctica’s Sea Ice Is Breaking All the Rules

Antarctica’s sea ice is vanishing way faster than anyone thought—and the ocean’s getting saltier, not fresher. Scientists expected melting ice to dilute the water, but new satellite data shows the opposite. This salty twist is making it harder for sea ice to come back, and it’s setting off a feedback loop that could speed up global warming, mess with weather, and threaten penguins and krill. Turns out, what happens in Antarctica doesn’t stay in Antarctica. #Science #ClimateChange #Antarctica
