    2005 was the most average. This year 107 000 km2 is below average. 5 years are above and only 3 year below. Now is much closer to the minimum than maximum extent of this time of year.

      looks like that 2009 and 2010 pushed the average up! And now we’re doomed because of it. These death spirals are so cruel. They give you a reason to hope that man will survive, and then POW!! They snatch it away again. @%#&*!!

    It’s not the most average even if you define “ever” as since 2002
