Looks like there are winners and losers up there.

3. Some of those are really disturbing

If the red line meets up with the black line, isn't that a huge anomaly?
I am not sure I am reading this correctly...but there are a few of those where the red line is off the freaking chart!

:scared:

4. The thin black line is the average from the 70's to today

The red line floats above and below the thin black line, showing whether we're above or below average ice cover in that part of the Arctic.

I think the thin black line represents the average for the date, so normally we'd have a little over a million square kilometers more ice this time of year than we're showing now for the Arctic total.

The real interest here is in seeing which areas are above or below average.

For example, in the Laptev Sea, we're actually well above the average. In the Beaufort Sea, we're WAY below the average.

And as we saw last summer, if the red line gets too close to the big, black line at the bottom, nothing dramatic happens, they just make the chart bigger to show it. :P
