Original – Weekly variation of Arctic sea ice from 1984 to 2019. Younger ice (first-year ice) is shown in darker shades, while older ice (four-year or older) is shown in white.
Reason
Good addition to the Beaufort Gyre article, in the Dynamical mechanisms section. It shows the weekly change in the Arctic sea ice coverage. Younger ice accumulation (first-year ice) is shown in darker shades, while older ice (four-year or older) is shown in white.
