National Snow and Ice Data Center Launches Site on Arctic Sea Ice Melt

“The National Snow and Ice Data Center has launched this year’s news and commentary Web site [Arctic Sea Ice News] as we follow the Arctic sea ice melt season. From August 10, 2007, through the end of the summer melt season, we will post updates as events warrant.”

  • “Arctic sea ice has now surpassed all previous records for the lowest absolute minimum extent. Satellite measurements recorded the previous record, 5.32 million square kilometers (2.05 million square miles), on September 20–21, 2005. As of this morning, the extent was 5.26 million square kilometers (2.02 million square miles).”
