Arctic sea ice this summer dropped to its eighth lowest level on record, new federal data shows.
That's far below average, but considerably above the record low set five years ago.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center said Tuesday that on Sept. 13 sea ice in Arctic shrank to its smallest area of the season: 4.64 million square kilometres.
Data centre scientist Ted Scambos said the Arctic sea ice set a record for the smallest winter amount earlier this year and was close to 2012's record low levels through July. Then a cloudy and cooler-than-normal August kept melt to a minimum.
"Weather patterns in August saved the day," Scambos said.
