Not particularly impressive, but consistent with trends over the last 30 years. Ice maximum is in mid-March. Minimum is in mid-September.
Arctic sea ice extent for January was the third lowest in the satellite record. Through 2015, the linear rate of decline for January extent over the satellite record is 3.2% per decade.
