It’s been 13 years since the lowest sea ice extent in the Arctic and no trend from the moment Al Gore told us that the ice free Arctic summers are just around the corner.

NSIDC states.

“On September 10, Arctic sea ice likely reached its annual minimum extent of 4.60 million square kilometers (1.78 million square miles). The 2025 minimum shares the tenth lowest spot in the nearly 47-year satellite record with 2008 and 2010. While the last 19 years, from 2007 to 2025, are the lowest 19 sea ice extents in the satellite record, there has been no significant trend in September minimum extents over this time.”
