Unusual Arctic ice cap shape, kinda looks like a ghost went kkk on its way to attack Pacman . . . ice 'blocks' appear along the southern shore of the Hudson bay, though middle of summer? Three larger ice blocks appear to be 'floating' immobilized in the Arctic Ocean . . . undersea ice would likely melt very quickly but is about the only way to explain why the ice blocks remain stationary . . . , hmmmm?

Northern polar ice cap continues to remain odd looking . . . you might review the monthly Sea Ice Index Extent Anomaly Graph here:

Sea Ice Index

The declining trend line suggests a constant rate, yet the spiky 'real' data doesn't seem uniform. The graph reminds me of ALS patients' 'constant' regression rate: likely the 'real' data for ALS patients is much spikier then the imaging of the polar ice cap.

Post sharp reduction in ice cap size apparently happening

Well, the ice cap size appears to be taking a steep dive . . . the situation from an intelligence analysis brings Benoit Mandelbrot to mind:

Benoit Mandelbrot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

whose research tried to accurately estimate the area of large surfaces but rough edges, such as sea shores.

I wonder if the ice images apparently not connected to the central 'cap' are considered by the estimation algorithm in use . . . ?

You might contrast the two Ice Extent Maps, one dated Aug 14, and the other today - about two weeks apart . . . very big difference. Also there is a 'movie' for this 'year' here:

Its a new month and I am hoping we will receive some explainations for the dramatic changes appearing to be taking place in the soon to be former great white north . . . Is there really ice on the southern shore of Hudson Bay? Will Noah be the one to rescue Santa?

Today showing the ice cap growth in 'steep' turn-around,' earlier than normal I think, but none too soon:

So, we may be wise to be ready for another snowy winter; the polar ice cap strongly contributes to the amount of cold experienced in winter . . . I could only find one president series of winters where a center year was unusually wet rather than snowy (such as last year) . . . Of course the year before last broke nearly every record.

On recognition of return to growth, Arctic Ice Cap is said to be tied with second smallest on record, with melt rate features exceeding at times all priors. They hypothesize were there no arctic storms, the cap may have taken the 'lead' this year.
