While the North Pole sits in an ocean surrounded by land, the South
Pole is in a continent surrounded by water. Antarctic sea ice grows
outward from the coast, aided by the isolating winds that encircle the
continent and carry frigid, inland air that pushes the ice around. So
even as warmer water reaches under the floating ice shelves of
Antarctica’s glaciers, persistently eating away at them, the growth of
winter sea ice is more closely tied to wind patterns.
Climate models project a big decline in Arctic sea ice, with the end
of summer becoming essentially sea-ice-free within a few decades at the
current rate of warming. But in Antarctica, the models project smaller
long-term declines.
In reality, Arctic sea ice extent has so far dropped faster than the
model projections. Antarctic sea ice, however, has grown a bit since
satellite monitoring started in 1979 (though not by enough to offset the
Arctic loss). Between 2000 and 2014, that growth picked up speed—the
same time period over which the growth in global average surface
temperatures temporarily slowed due to a series of La NiƱa years in the Pacific.
