The US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) says the ice covered 4,5 million sq km (1,7 million sq miles) at its lowest point on 12 September. Last year’s minimum was 4,1 million sq km (1,6 million sq miles).

It’s stated: “…The Arctic sea  ice cover appears to have reached its minimum extent for the year, the second-lowest extent recorded since the dawn of the satellite era.  While above the record minimum set on September 16, 2007, this year further reinforces the strong negative trend in summertime ice extent observed over the past thirty years… further info under NSIDC official website >> “
