Since then both MASIE and SII show a steep decline in Arctic ice extents, now matching the average for June 15 (day 166). The reports show that Barents alone lost 320k km2, Laptev down 200k km2, Baffin Bay lost 165k km2, Chukchi, Kara, Greenland seas all lost around 100k km2 each.
For the month of June Hudson Bay will take the stage. Above average early in June. Hudson Bay lost 100k km2 the last six days. Being a shallow basin, it will likely lose much of its 1M km2 in a few weeks.
