In early March we went beyond the 14 mark for the first time since November 2016, by averaging higher than 14 thousand km³ sea ice volume. Now the worm has turned and we’ve been going down for a few weeks for the first time in 5 months, but of course, as soon as such a …

In mid April we went back below the 10 mark, by averaging lower than 10 million km² sea ice extent. The worm has turned, and explicitly suggested in a dotted way below, is the possibility of 2nd lowest or a new record low for the full calendar year. Arctic sea ice extent has also been …
