The concentration and extent of sea ice in the Arctic has been on the
decline since the mid-1990's. Data collected by the Defense
Meteorological Satellites Program (DMSP) satellite's SSM/I
sensor is shown here for 2007 - 2008. These two years had the lowest ice
extents on record since satellite observations first began.
