This is the gain/loss up to day 137. Negative = loss. Sorted with biggest loser in last 7 days at top. Northern Hemisphere is the grand total.

Over the last 3 days Arctic Sea Ice actually rose a tiny amount – 5,806 sq km.

Over the last 49 days sea ice has dropped -1,956,398 sq km. But Greenland Sea and Central Arctic are actually higher than they were 49 days ago. An interesting quirk.
