Click here, or on the graphic, for full resolution. Change in the age of ice on the Arctic Ocean, comparing September ice ages in 1988, 1990, 2001 and 2005. The age of sea ice in the Arctic is changing, and not only the extent and concentrations. Studies show that in recent years there is a higher proportion of younger ice to older ice than was observed in the late 1980s. This analysis is based on results from a simulation using drifting buoy data and satellite-derived ice-concentration data. The darker the colour, the older the ice.
