Arctic sea ice volume meltdown has come 84% of the way from Winter Maximum to a Blue Ocean Event per August 31st. The lowest volume year ever, 2017, for comparison, was at 81%. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.

½ Year Arctic Blue Ocean Estimates
#GoodHopeModel August 29: Our first ½ year long Arctic Blue Ocean Event could come as early as 2024–35. No sea ice for 6 months, in as little as 5–16 years? You can learn more about the Good Hope Model on YouTube: For some of the consequences of a summer half year Blue Ocean Event, press …
Annual Average Sea Ice Volume
The 365–day running average for sea ice volume is now lower than 13.75 thousand km³ and dropping by about 85 km³ per month. The prognosis suggests 2019 may go 2nd lowest on record for all–year average. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Annual Average Sea Ice Extent
The 365–day running average for sea ice extent is now lower than 9.88 million km² and dropping by about 44 thousand km² per month. The prognosis suggests 2019 may go lowest on record for all–year average. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Sea Ice Extent Minimum | Top 5
Arctic sea ice extent went below 6 million km² during July for the first time on record, yet 2012 was first below 5. Chart shows 2012 as lowest in mid August, but 2019 extent may still plunge after the recent cyclone. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth …
Sea Ice Volume Minimum | Top 5
Arctic sea ice volume went below 6 thousand km³ record early (just as for 10, 9, 8 & 7). But this chart shows we didn’t quite manage to beat the 2012 record for first below 5, or 4. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Year-To-Date Average Sea Ice Volume
The Year–To–Date average volume is still 2nd lowest for sea ice in the Arctic. Our last target is record low 2017. Note also that the 2000s average is still not below the 21k upper edge, while this year’s at 16.7. That’s climate change for ya. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea …
Year-To-Date Average Sea Ice Extent
The Year–To–Date average extent is still 2nd lowest for sea ice in the Arctic. All 4 lowest years are also the 4 latest years: 2016, 2017, 2018 & 2019. The last target is record low 2016. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Are you hoping to witness a BOE? (Poll)
New Blue Ocean Event poll today on the Arctic Sea Ice Forum. Below you can read forum member Sam‘s full comment and clarification. Some perhaps want (as in “desire”) a blue ocean event. Those here who may, don’t do so because they want it. They most often do so because it is now inevitable in …
