The previous June Arctic ice update suggested that shallow basins on the Atlantic side will now lose their ice rapidly.\u00a0 The animation above shows in the last 10 days how much open water has appeared in Hudson Bay (bottom right) and Baffin Bay (center right).\u00a0 Just those two regions combined lost ~500k km2 of ice in 1.5 weeks and are now holding ~30% of their maximums.\u00a0 The images also show little change elsewhere.\u00a0 This is all normal melting of Arctic drift ice, presently at 63% ( 9.5 M km2) of last March maximum, heading toward the September minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
