Arctic sea ice minimum

susan's picture

Sea ice is frozen sea water that waxes and wanes in response to the cooling and warming of the Arctic throughout the year. The ice pack reaches its greatest extent at the end of the winter, during March, and its lowest point at the end of the summer, usually in mid-September. This point is known as the sea ice minimum.
