The European Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that the area of Arctic sea ice in March reached its lowest extent in at least 47 years.

Global sea ice hit a new record low in February, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service. This data, which includes the extent of sea ice in both the Arctic and Antarctic, is based on records dating back to the late 1970s.
