Recent analysis suggests that by the 2020s or 2030s, the Arctic could have ice-free conditions in September, albeit with less than a million square kilometers of ice coverage.
Even during the minimum ice extent in 2023, the Arctic sea ice still covered 1.63 million square miles or 4.23 million square kilometers.
Predictions indicate that by the 2030s, summer ice in the Arctic could shrink to around 24 percent of its 2023 size, regardless of emission scenarios.
Scientists anticipate that this reduction in Arctic sea ice will continue, leading to frequent ice-free conditions by 2067, even extending beyond September to August and October.
