Someone on the main melting season thread linked to the Sea Ice Outlook for June:
https://www.arcus.org/sipn/sea-ice-outlook/2019/juneI only skimmed it, but I happened to notice the following:
The arch typically breaks up in June or July, allowing ice to drift through the narrow channel. This year, the arch broke up by late March, much earlier than is typical. Since then,
there has been a steady flow of ice through Nares Strait (download animation to view).
You should tell them off, Tor.
However, unlike me they could perhaps defend themselves with the argument that their report was written, if not published, before the recent hiatus.
