NSIDC has not updated its sea ice data for 3 days. So here is JAXA.
JAXA sea ice extent data from Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency.
A couple of days ago I pointed out one of the other ice indexes (DMI) had now crossed over the 2012 track.
MASIE (see bottom graph) has actually gained ice the last couple of days and is above 2010,2011 and 2012.
JAXA is still 100,000 sq km below 2012.

A couple of days ago I pointed out one of the other ice indexes (DMI) had now crossed over the 2012 track.
MASIE (see bottom) is now very close (4300 sq km — but it was 2011 not 2012). JAXA is still 300,000 sq km below 2012.
