Antarctic sea ice has been above average for 1000 straight days ...




Like watching the number of days that a major hurricane has not made landfall on the United States, we can now watch the number of days that Antarctica’s sea ice continues to be above the 30 year baseline. The constant growth is remarkable.


As shown in the plot below, data from University of Illinois Cryosphere Today shows that Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Anomaly has been positive since July 5th, 2011.


We are now on day 1001 of positive anomaly based on the 1979-2008 baseline.
