Nasa video: Sea ice, which also protects it from global warming, is gradually decreasing on a large scale. This has been revealed in the research of NASA and National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). NASA has also shared a graphic video of this ice sheet continuously. This video is going to blow the senses.
NASA has also released data along with this video, which suggests that sea ice is melting rapidly on both poles of the earth. According to this, in the last 15 years, the sea ice of millions of square kilometers has disappeared in Arctic and Antarctica.
13 million square kilometers shortage
According to NASA, on March 22 this year, when the marine ice in Arctic should have been at its annual highest level, its volume remained just 5.53 million square miles (143 lakh sq km). This is the lowest winter snow ever. It has fallen below the lowest level of 5.56 million square miles (144 lakh square kilometers) of 2017.
Similarly, till March 1, sea ice in Antarctic was only 764,000 square miles (19.8 lakh sq km). This is equal to the second lowest level recorded so far. It is 30% less than ice of normal 1.10 million square miles (28 lakh square kilometers) in Antarctica before 2010. In recent years, new snow is becoming less. This year’s maximum ice cover was 510,000 square miles (13 lakh square kilometers) less than the average levels between 1981 and 2010.
Almost ice of India’s area disappears
Overall, the total amount of sea ice on the earth has reached the lowest level ever. Globally, snow coverage in mid -February this year has decreased by more than one million square miles (2.5 million square kilometers) from the average before 2010. That is, a large part of sea ice on earth has completely disappeared, which is as much as two-thirds of the area of ​​India.

A snow scientist Lynet Boisart at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, says that we are coming with low ice in this next summer season. This is not a good sign for the future. At the same time, a ice scientist at America’s National Snow and Ice Data Center has said that it is not yet clear whether the end of the snow sheet from the earth is a permanent pattern or it will return to the earlier level in the coming years.
