Summary[edit]

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on September 13, shows a view of a sea ice-free Laptev Sea. According to EUMETSAT data, at the end of August 2021, the Laptev sea saw the record-low sea ice extent for this time of year since 1980, the year in which the organisation started building its time series. In addition to supporting the biodiversity of fragile Arctic ecosystems, sea ice has an important role in the climate system. The absence of sea ice is, in fact, at the root of "Arctic amplification", the phenomenon that describes the faster warming of the Arctic compared to the rest of the world. Sea ice is one of the climate indicators studied and monitored by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). Every month C3S releases a bulletin detailing the state of the climate in the world.
