Trader consensus overwhelmingly backs a maximum Arctic sea ice extent of 14.2-14.4 million square kilometers this winter (93.5% implied probability), driven by National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) measurements showing steady growth from November lows, currently tracking near the 2010s median at around 13 million square kilometers as of early January. This aligns with recent years' maxima—such as 14.33 million in 2024 and 14.42 million in 2023—amid fading El Niño influences and emerging La Niña patterns favoring colder Arctic conditions. Scenarios challenging this include prolonged warm air advection from unusual atmospheric blocking, potentially dropping below 14 million, or a strongly negative Arctic Oscillation expanding ice beyond 14.6 million, though both remain low-probability outliers per ensemble forecasts.

This market will remain open until data has been published for April 1, 2026, at which point it will resolve immediately. Any revisions to sea ice extent recorded after data is published for April 1, 2026 will not be considered.
The resolution source for this market measures Arctic sea ice extent to thousands of square kilometers (e.g. 14.255 million sq km). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
The resolution source for this market will be information from the National Snow and Ice Data Center, specifically the maximum value recorded for any day between November 20, 2025 and April 1, 2026 in the “NH-Daily-Extent” tab of the “Sea Ice Index Daily Extent” data set, available at https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-ice-tools. If this resolution source becomes unavailable, another resolution source will be chosen.
