The Arctic plays a complex role in climate change: decreasing Arctic Sea Ice decreases albedo, increasing global warming while, rising temperatures increase the rate of glacier melting, causing sea levels to rise.
This page provides updates on Arctic Sea Ice Extent trends.

Hi Kelly
Didn’t know your name was Kelly but Hi anyway. I have checked this site every day all summer and found it a great aid in following the process as it unfolded. I much appreciate the time and effort you have put into this page. I spent several summers at the mouth of the Mackenzie River in northern Canada and have a special interest in anything about the Arctic. Not many people have had the opportunity to see the wonder of it all. What a loss all this is.
Thanks
Bob
Hi Kelly,
Your blog has become a go to place for me for arctic sea ice updates. I especially like your SIE daily change graph. Are you as struck as I am by the seemingly strong correlation between 2008 and 2010? It just seems very odd that the trends should agree so closely at a few days resolution.
Thanks again for the good blog
