NASA | Arctic Sea Ice Sets New Record Winter Low

The video discusses the Arctic sea ice reaching its peak extent on February 25th, marking the smallest winter maximum since 1979 and the second earliest peak. It highlights that much of the winter ice is thin and will melt in summer, with scientists noting that summer minimum trends are more indicative of climate change. A visual comparison shows the current ice extent against the average from the past 35 years, particularly near Russia and Alaska.

What do scientists say is a better indicator of climate change than winter ice pack records?

Where is the ice extent low according to the observations?
