The Arctic sea ice's summer disappearing act may get all the attention, but winter sea ice is disappearing too.
This year, the sea ice cover during February tied the all-time low for the month, due in part to the same climate pattern that brought cold air unusually far south this winter in the United States. (The same pattern could bring severe weather this spring.)
February 2011 tied February 2005 for the lowest ice extent on satellite record during the month of February, according to the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
