You can read more about Arctic Sea Ice melting at Neven's blog which is great: http://neven1.typepad.com/blog/ I tend to look at the Arctic Sea Ice almost every day from Spring - it's addictive: https://sites.google.com/site/arcticseaicegraphs/

My guess is that we will have a record minimum (beating 2012) this summer. It's pretty obvious we will have increased methane release from the clathrates. It's scary to think that we could hit a tipping point up there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clathrate_gun_hypothesis
