The Year–To–Date average volume is still 2nd lowest for sea ice in the Arctic. Our final target is record low 2017. Note that the 2000s average just reentered this plot after the summer, right below the 21k upper edge, while this year’s at 15.8. That’s climate change for ya. Due in large part to ongoing …

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 final target is record low 2016. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Arctic sea ice extent meltdown
Arctic sea ice extent meltdown has come 77% of the way from Winter Maximum to a Blue Ocean Event per September 11th. The lowest extent year ever, 2016, for comparison, was at 76%. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
Arctic sea ice volume meltdown
Arctic sea ice volume meltdown has come 86% of the way from Winter Maximum to a Blue Ocean Event per September 10th. The lowest volume year ever, 2017, for comparison, was at 82%. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
½ Year Arctic Blue Ocean Estimates
#GoodHopeModel September 9: 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 …
Five Year Average at new Record Low
In the Arctic, the sea ice volume 5-yr average reached a new record low last week due to climate change. The new milestone was 14.0 thousand km³. 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 9.87 million km² and dropping by about 45 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.
Annual Average Sea Ice Volume
The 365–day running average for sea ice volume is now 2nd lowest and lower than 13.71 thousand km³, dropping by about 94 km³ per month. The prognosis suggests we’ll go lower than 2012 for the all–year average. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse of Arctic Sea Ice our Frozen Earth is Going South.
2019 Qualified for 2nd Lowest on August 27 | Arctic Sea Ice Volume
5 days before August was over, daily Arctic sea ice volume was already lower than the September minimums of 39 years; 1979–2011 + 2013–18, with about 20 more melt days to go. 2019 Melt Season average is 2nd lowest. Ten–Year Trend though, is still very stubbornly all–time low. Due in large part to ongoing Collapse …

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.
