The chart is completely correct dear boy.I've been watching the late
freeze with interest as well.

I suppose most of that rise is due to the late freezing of the northern
Barents Sea. Still a light ice year there though. The only area I can
see that's above normal is the SE Barents Sea and the Baltic, though I
think I would have rated the latter at no more than average in the 60s.

East Greenland, Davis Strait and Labrador are lighter than average.
Newfoundland, Gulf of St Lawrence and the Great Lakes have almost no ice
at all!
