June 20 2014  MASIE Update – According to MASIE Arctic Sea Ice is up 3,100 over the last 7 days mostly due to the 61,521 rise in last day.

While some the arctic is melting according to MASIE, some of it is growing over the last 7 days: Barents, Kara, Laptev, East Siberian and Greenland Sea.

Pretty amazing for this time in the melt season. DMI does have Arctic temperatures below normal.
