Arctic sea ice extent certainly seems to have moved well past the minimum now. While NSIDC have this year’s extent slightly below last year’s, and therefore 3rd highest since 2006, both NORSEX and DMI rank this year’s extent above that of 2013, and therefore 2nd highest since 2006.

DMI also maintain their old system, which masks out the coastal zones. On this system, this year’s extent is actually the highest since 2006.
