Arctic Sea Ice: This is a low, no?
Arctic-sea-ice extent is now at, or very near to, the summer minimum. As in recent years, the area of ocean with at least 15% ice cover — now around 4.3 million square kilometres — is massively (more than 1.6 million sq km) below the 30-year average. But new data challenge a previous conclusion that this year’s minimum is the lowest since satellite observations began in 1972.
