AGE DISTRIBUTION OF ARCTIC ICE, WINTER 2019
Map showing the age distribution of Arctic sea ice in winter 2019. The ice is shaded according to its age, which ranges from over four years (white) to less than a year (dark grey). Ice that is present for more than a year is known as multi-year ice or perennial ice. It starts off around 2 metres thick, but can reach a thickness of over nine metres. Perennial ice is more resistant to melting than young ice. The decline in perennial ice in the Arctic is an indication of climate change.
