Providing a near real-time examination of current sea ice concentration conditions in the Arctic, this KML allows you to view the previous 30 days sea ice concentration, gathered from satellite data up until the present day. Updated daily, this KML which is presented as a series of animated overlays, can provide useful data to those studying climate change, in particular the potential for sea levels rising. To view the animation, simply open the KML file and press the play button located in the top section of the image viewer. Note: It is likely that you will need to allow the animation to run through once or twice to enable the image overlays to load fully.
