Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Reaches Seasonal Minimum

Antarctic sea ice has likely reached its minimum extent for the year, at 2.58 million square kilometers (996,000 square miles) on February 26, 2026, according to scientists at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado Boulder.The 2026 minimum ranks 16th lowest in the 48-year satellite record. This year’s minimum is much closer to average than the past four years, albeit still 260,000 square kilometers (100,000 square miles) below the 1981 to 2010 average.

SeaBot Maritime, GRi Simulations, Frontier Robotics Deliver Human-AI Autonomous Training Platform

Across offshore energy, commercial maritime and defense, deploying people and equipment into subsea environments remains complex, specialist and high-risk work, with individual campaigns often exceeding USD$133,000 (£100,000) per mission. As autonomous systems become central to maritime operations, SeaBot Maritime, GRi Simulations Inc. and Frontier Robotics have delivered a new simulation platform…
