NASA Study Examines Antarctic Sea Ice Increases-2

Trends in Antarctic sea ice motion over the 19-year study period are shown by the arrows, in meters per second per year. The background colors show the change in northward ice speed, with reds being fastest and blues slowest. The image highlights the tremendous variability in wind-driven ice drift around the Antarctic continent. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/British Antarctic Survey)
