Just a month after recording the highest minimum since 2006, Arctic extent, according to DMI, has been growing so fast that it is now greater at this time of year than both 2005 and 2006.
Perhaps just as significant is the fact that DMI only count ice concentration of 30% and over, unlike NSIDC and others that use 15%. This would suggest that the thicker, more concentrated ice is becoming more predominant.
