Woops. I'm away on fieldwork at the moment and the poll completely slipped my mind. I'll leave it up for 3 days, hopefully that's enough time.

Anywho, over the last month extent has dropped back toward the bottom 5, with record breaking melt in the Laptev Sea at times. Beaufort and Chukchi are holding up rather well and PIOMAS volume has dropped back to 6th lowest on the latest update (mid-June)

As a reminder, the extent minima since 2010 in millions of km2 from the daily NSIDC data are:

2020:    3.7
2019:    4.1
2018:    4.6
2017:    4.6
2016:    4.1
2015:    4.4
2014:    5.0
2013:    5.0
2012:    3.3
2011:    4.3
2010:    4.6

The thread will lock at midnight at the end of the month.
