Abstract
During 2021, and following on from 2020, net Antarctic sea ice coverage continued to exhibit
strong variability (Fig. 6.11a), with distinct regional and seasonal contributions (Fig. 6.11b). The
year began with below-average overall sea ice extent (SIE) in January through February (Fig.
6.11a), compared to the 1991-2020 average, but abruptly switched to above average in late February
where it remained almost continuously until early September.
