Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,107,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
After dropping 90,000 sq km two days ago, ice extent rose 100,000 sq km the next day.
131 daily records in 2014. And 209 out of 209 in the top 5.

July 28 2014 – Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,072,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
A drop today. But that isn’t unusual. 2013 (black line) went up and down all the way to an all-time record.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,214,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
On Day 206 of 2014, Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,128,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
It is also 1,800,000 sq km higher than the low for day 206 back in 1983.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,131,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean.
That obliterates the previous daily record by 500,000 sq km. And is also the 127th daily record for the year.
Antarctic Sea Ice Extent is 1,102,000 sq km above the 1981-2010 mean
That smashes the previous daily record by 240,000 sq km. And is also the 126th daily record for the year.
There is some claims that possibly/maybe a “sensor error” caused a small overestimation of sea ice extent in the Antarctic since 1991.
From what I understand the paper is atrocious. More importantly, this is what the sea ice extent for this day looks like:
