Sea ice is frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface, waxing and waning with the polar seasons. In the Arctic winter, sea ice stretches its tentacles into seas and coastlines far from the poles. Antarctic sea ice fringes a massive land mass. More: https://t.co/zKvsmUNswH

The Sea Ice Index provides a quick look at Arctic- and Antarctic-wide changes in sea ice. The images and data are produced in a consistent way that makes the Index time-series appropriate for use when looking at long-term trends in sea ice cover. https://t.co/2I2u75QeWg

People who engage with us stay connected. We’ve seen it time and again. This week, experts from the U.S. and Europe travelled to Tromsø, they met with ten Tromsø-based experts, bringing their perspectives on Arctic geopolitics and economic development into new conversations. 🌍

These connections don’t end when a program finishes. They grow, strengthen, and spark collaboration across borders. That’s why we welcome opportunities to bring people together: Enduring connections create enduring solutions. 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇳🇴

Security in the Arctic is a shared priority, with technology like uncrewed systems playing an important role in the region. We were excited that a delegation from @cepa was in town for meetings about how this technology can help improve Allied security in the Arctic.
