Melting Arctic Sea Ice - Must See Timelapse

This is a timelapse video of the Arctic sea ice. On August 26th Arctic sea ice dipped below the record smallest daily extent which was previously set on September 18th, 2007. This also marks the first time that there has been less than four million square kilometers of sea ice since satellite observations began in 1979. The National Snow and Ice Data Center will confirm the final minimum ice extent data and area once the melt stabilizes, usually around mid-September.
