Nature World: With winter at its end, it appears that the extent of Arctic sea ice has reached its limit. Worryingly, it's the lowest extent ever seen, reaching only about 5.61 million square miles. What's more, this is also one of the earliest maximum extents ever reached, with most seen much further into the end of the season.

Arctic Sea Ice to Reach Sixth Lowest Extent on Record

Climate Central: As summer draws to a close, the Arctic sea ice melt season is coming to an end. And while the season didn't top 2012's astounding record melt, it has still resulted in what will likely be the sixth lowest September minimum ice extent on record.
