A look at Arctic ice – early July, 2022
This is the latest on sea ice extent
Some photos from the past few days to show how it looks not too far from the Pole

I’ve been watching the “Ice Volume” on “D.M.I. modeled ice thickness.” Also air temps. using “Earth Nullschool.” Over the years.
It looks terrible. It’s been raining at the geophysical North pole fairly often.
The NASA photos on EOSDIS clearly show continued ice loss over the years.
I really like Margo’s videos using the US Navy GLB. It seems to be closer to NASA photos. I don’t use YT much, It’s nice to watch Margo again.
Thanks.
The Danish model has been changing the median years. It used to be 2001-current, now 04-current.
They’ve also changed the colour gradient, to hide ice loss. Though other’s have changed their colour gradient as well.
It’s pretty obvious, to anyone doing long-term studies with the DMI. They’re getting fudged results.
Although it’s all “modeling.” Don’t they use satellites to “scan” and measure the thickness with lasers or R.F. or whatever? It’s probably “Worse than we thought.”
Those feedback loops eh?
My mistake it has always been 2004 on the DMI.
But the median is lowering over the years. Hiding ice loss. The grey median line today is at 18 (1000Km squared) On Sept 25th 2015 the median line is about 21. (1K sq) https://web.archive.org/web/20150926065632/http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/icethickness/thk.uk.php
