Dont expect Al Gore to be featuring this in a new movie... Jan Lieser from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) said the discovery was made two days ago. This is an area covered by sea ice which weve never seen from space before, he said. Thirty-five years ago the first satellites went up which were reliably telling us what area, two dimensional area, of sea ice was covered and weve never seen that before, that much area. That is roughly double the size of the Antarctic continent and about three times the size of Australia.
