16. The NSIDC March ice numbers are in |

Average Arctic Sea Ice Extent was 15.1 million square kilometers. The 1979 - 2010 average has been 15.55 million square kilometers. That makes it tied for the 4th least with 1996 and 2008 in the 32 year history. That said, the last two years have seen an increase in sea ice minimum from 4.3 in 2007 to 4.7 in 2008 and 5.4 in 2009 so there is more multi-year ice then in the past few years.
