Still Waiting For NSIDC Confirmation, But Arctic Sea Ice Looks Like 2nd-Lowest Area On Record

?w=1024

Slight uptick in the blue line, which indicates this year’s ice – seems to indicate the bottom.
National Snow and Ice Data Center has not officially called it, will have analysis when they release it.

This year would be the second lowest in the record behind 2012. (red dotted line)
