Sea Ice Extent – Day 247 – A Slight Chance Arctic Has Hit Minimum on 244

Published on by sunshinehours1Leave a comment

There is a slight chance day 244 was minimum for the arctic.

If so that would be the earliest minimum ever. Interestingly (if it holds true) Arctic max was on day 53. The earliest was day 52.
