May have reached maximum extent on 26 Feb 2017, at 14.368 x10^6 sq km as
27 Feb had dropped to 14.341 and end of Feb is about the usual end of

Previous lowest maximum sea-ice extent for the Arctic , believed to be
14.517 x10^6 sq km, on 25 Feb 2015 (NSIDC method)

JIC 07 Mar was the peak this year at 14.420, end of continous 8 day
upwards run, 08 Mar it dropped back to 14.410


16 Mar dropped back 30,000 from a third? peak of 14.405 x10^6 on 15
March, so 07 March may have been the lowest maximum Arctic sea-ice
extent on satellite era record.
