On track for a satellite-era record all-time minimum about 19 Feb 2017


Hmm, 2-3 weeks to go of course but not sure that there'll be a new Antarctic
record this year, seems to have asymptoted for now at least. Problem seems
to be that something like 90% of the Ant sea-ice does melt each year and the
remaining 10% is - for whatever reason (thickness, local climate??) -
fairly stubborn.
