"On September 20 of this year, sea ice surrounding Antarctica covered 7.78 million sq miles (20.14 million sq km), according to NASA. That’s more than twice as big as the continental United States (3.11 million sq miles)."

JAXA ANTARCTIC SEA ICE EXTENT :- 12,008,820 km2(December 4, 2019) A second double century extent loss on this day - 2019 is 2nd lowest in the satellite record since 1979, - Extent loss on this day 253 k, 48 k more than the last 10 years' average of 205 k, - Extent loss to date 6.34 million km2, 0.50 million (8.6%) GREATER than the 10 year average of 5.84 million km2 by this day. - 36.6 % of the average ice loss of the season done, with on average 78 days to the average minimum date of 19 Feb. The Perils of Projections We are into the period of maximum daily extent loss. This makes projections even more perilous. Average melt from this date would produce a minimum of 1.89 million km2, 0.26 million less than the record low on 1st March 2017. forum.arctic-sea-ice.net

This year's five-day average maximum was reached on Sept. 22, when sea ice covered 7.76 million square miles (20.11 million square kilometers), according to NSIDC. nasa.gov At the time, 2014 was the hottest year on record.
