Rob Wooding, the operations manager of the Australian Antarctic Division, told the media on Monday that growing sea ice around Antarctica is creating 'serious problems' for scientists studying the continent. Mawson Station, the longest continuously operated outpost in Antarctica, has relied on access to a nearby bay, which is increasingly becoming more complicated by sea ice blocking the way. Wooding said "We are noticing that the sea ice situation is becoming more difficult." This briefing was in preparation of "two days of meetings between top Antarctic science and logistics experts in Hobart, the capital of Tasmania."https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics8_sept-19-2014-antarctic-sea-ice-maximum-lg.jpg
