Arctic sea ice appears to have broken the 2007 record daily extent and is now the lowest in the satellite era. With two to three more weeks left in the melt season, sea ice continues to track below 2007 daily extents.

Despite cooler temperatures and ice-favoring conditions, long-term decline continues. This is a press release from NSIDC, which is part of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
