Going by, both poles are at it

Global (Arctic+Antarctic) record minimums, of the day of the year, seem
to be continuing to be broken,ie 03 May visually seems to have overtaken
02 May near parity .
I can only access Charctic every other day to put figures on it all.
30 April 2017 20.366 million sq km
30 April 2018 20.341 million sq km

02 May 2017 20.419 million
02 May 2018 20.418 million


Both "ends" of the planet continuing to break the record for least
sea-ice extent summed globally on-the-day of the satellite era of global
warming.
06 May 2018 sum of 20.602 million sq km from charctic
06 May 2017 (previous minimum on that day) 20.657
