The glacier is shrinking rapidly, specially in the pass which connects the Hungu and Inkhu valley.

While not quite as anomalous as 2023, #Antarctic sea ice extent once again remains way below average for this time of year...
More graphs: zacklabe.com/antarctic-sea-i…
ALT Line graph time series of 2024s daily Antarctic sea ice extent anomalies in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2022 using shades of purple to white for each line. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2023 is the record low for most days, which is shown in yellow. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. There are no clear long-term trends.

One thing I wished more people understood about climate change is that we have not yet experienced any where near the full consequences of the warming we've already caused.
Here's a 🧵 explaining why...
