It appears minimum Arctic sea ice extent occurred on the 13th.

The minimum of 4.703 million sq km is the 12th lowest in the satellite record and over 1.55 million km2 below the average minimum extent. There still could be further contraction, but at this time of year, it's mostly due to wind movement rather than melt.
