Global extent total still dropping, back to what is was 10 days ago at

I see these bods
https://forum.arctic-sea-ice.net/ind...1611.2250.html
are now getting into CO2 and salinity anomalies around the Arctic

This chart is a little ahead of the NSIDC one and you can see from it that the Arctic sea ice has begun to melt again.

Meanwhile the Antarctic seems to be heading for an all time low of less than 2 million sq km.



Using NSIDC Charctic I make the , until recent, minimum to be
2.290 million sq km on 27 Feb 1997
27 Jan 2017 was 2.763 million dropping approx 0.1 million a day
so "all time" record Antarctic minimum next week looks likely
