In the annual Arctic Report Card, released Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a record emerged for sea ice, which appears when Arctic Ocean water freezes.

Scientists had previously announced that the minimum extent, reached in September 2015, was the fourth lowest on record. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Jonathan Hayward)
