In October 2012, National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) [3] released an animated map of 2012 Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent shown side-by-side with 1979 – 2009 climatology.
For more information and visualizations of thinning sea ice, see the NOAA Climate Watch article, “Arctic Sea Ice Getting Thinner, Younger.” [4]
