Enjoy your weekend! Here's your Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 5th lowest on record (JAXA data)... (finally some ice growth this week)

• about 320,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 720,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,170,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,640,000 km² below the 1980s mean
