On day 92, Antarctica Sea Ice Extent has been a daily record on 26 days. 92 out of 92 have been in the top 5. Of course the last daily record was only 630 sq km above 2008. Close, but still a record.

The following is all 92 days. A 1 is a daily record, a 2 is 2nd place etc. A . is lower than 9th. There are no . for Antarctica.

Published on March 30, 2014 by sunshinehours12 Comments

Antarctic Sea Ice is still a long way to maximum, but as of Day 88, Antarctic Sea Ice Extent for 2014 is the highest ever for the day by 580 sq km.

Looking at the graph of Extent for day 88 only, I can see that when 2008 set its daily record by over 400,000 sq km that it would be a while before it was broken.
