Observed sea ice September 1979 and September 2003These two images, constructed from satellite data, compare arctic sea ice concentrations in September of 1979 and 2003. September is the month in which sea ice is at its yearly minimum and 1979 marks the first year that data of this kind became available in meaningful form. The lowest concentration of sea ice on record was in September 2002.  Source : ACIA Impacts of a Warming Arctic: Arctic Climate Impact Assessment Publication apparentée :
