An awfully big gain in the Canadian archipelago ??? Odd??
Above average (last 5 years) by far last two weeks.

We might have a relatively early minimum. If DMI wasn’t so warm I would be more definitive. But my predictive ability is poor. 😦
Looks like melt is over http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icecover.uk.php
In which case Arctic extent is likely to go over anomaly for the rest of the year. We shall see…
