Also, the volume of sea-ice has been below 2007 all year:

That's a shocking decrease indeed!


I was surprised to read in the book I got on the USS Skate's polar
adventures that, in 1958, scientists were investigating the reported
warming of the Arctic and thinning of the ice cover. But then, I suppose
the 0.3C warming in the first part of the last century must have had
some effect, presumably on ice thickness, though nothing much shows
up on the graphs of ice-extent until the fifties.
