Sea Ice Extent record low. No bottom yet.

The Arctic sea ice extent index calculated by a University of Bremen research team led by Dr. Georg Heygster reached a new historical low point of 4.24 million km2 on September 8. The previous one-day minimum was 4.27 million km2 on September 17, 2007 (Figure 1). The usual melt season is not yet over, however, so 2011 extent could decline further.
