Default August 16, 2007 - New historic sea ice minimum

I found the following hidden away in the NSIDC pages:

"ice extent
the total area covered by some amount of ice, including open water between
ice floes; ice extent is typically reported in square kilometers."

It seems 15% may be the ice cover percentage, going by this graph at the
NSIDC site.
