Arctic Sea Ice

Obviously there are seasonal fluctuations (lots of ice in winter, less in summer) but year-by-year, the extend of the ice caps at each extreme are less. (Double click to see full-sized chart).  The black line represents this year's extent.  Observe how it is the lowest/second lowest since measurement began. Will we hit a new low this (northern hemisphere) summer?
