It is now late autumn in Antarctica. The polar night, when the sun disappears below the horizon until spring, will soon extend over most of the continent. Yet there is still hardly any sea ice in the southern Bellingshausen Sea (lower left in the regional map below). Sea ice concentration maps are from the Institute of Environmental Physics, University of Bremen, Germany - https://seaice.uni-bremen.de/sea-ice-concentration/amsre-amsr2/
