Bering Sea ice extent monthly 2024

According to National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) data, the Bering sea ice extent was over 22,500 square kilometers in July 2024.
Warmer air temperatures in all seasons and severe sea ice loss, ecological changes, and ice sheet mass loss are rapidly transforming the Arctic environment.
