Worldwide Sea Ice Currently Above 30 Year Average
The sea ice anomaly in the Antarctic is about +615,000 sq km (that's the title link).
The sea ice anomaly in the Arctic is about -366,000 sq km.
This gives an all world anomaly of about +250,000 sq km.
Since ice freezes and melts constantly, the anomaly is a pretty fast changing metric and of course, this tell you nothing about ice volume. Still, its interesting.
