 @4df5feae How is it that it's colder than normal in the Antarctic, yet there's such a big deviation from normal ice coverage?

Oceanic warmth (https://nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00624-1) and large-scale atmospheric drivers (e.g., anomalous winds associated with the Southern Annular Mode and Amundsen Sea Low) primarily influence Antarctic sea ice - generally not air temperature.
