Five-year composite anomalies of Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) and sea surface temperature (SST) from 1995 to 2024. Each panel shows spatial anomalies relative to the long-term mean (1995–2024), averaged over five-year periods. Anomalies in SIC are shown in the inner sector, corresponding to high latitude foraging grounds, using a green–purple scale. Anomalies in SST are shown in the outer sector, corresponding to mid latitude foraging grounds, using a red–blue scale. Positive SST anomalies (red) and negative SIC anomalies (green) indicate warmer-than-average and less ice-covered conditions, respectively. Map orientation was chosen to maximise use of page space.
