Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis
From the National Snow and Ice Data Center

http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/index.html

They periodically update the status of the Arctic Ocean Ice.

June 3, 2008

Arctic sea ice still on track for extreme melt

"Arctic sea ice extent has declined through the month of May as summer approaches. Daily ice extents in May continued to be below the long-term average and approached the low levels seen at this time last year. As discussed in our last posting, the spring ice cover is thin. One sign of thin and fairly weak ice is the formation of several polynyas in the ice pack."

There is much more information at the web site, such as maps showing how much ice is year-old versus multi-year.
