Yeah, that wording is clunky. I guess, according to the article, the ice is known to melt and return in a cyclical pattern every year. This year almost a million square miles of ice did not form as expected.

Cropped Y axis exaggerates it a bit, but it’s still a fair deficit.

The whole article is a bit clunky to read.

“The word ‘unprecedented’ gets thrown around a lot…” Are you trying to reach a minimum word count?
