The data is only preliminary, but it tends to indicate the Antarctic ice sheet is hitting a new record this year since measures began, after hitting a record last year Sep 25 – 29. The new record was set Sep 14 2013 at 19.52 million sqkm. the old record was set 19.44 sqkm, set two weeks later in the yearly cycle. This fig shows the extent of the ice and indicates this year’s ice is above last year and outside the 2 sigma for the 30 year average.
The Antarctic ice cap is impressive this year.
