Arctic sea ice minimum to decrease in 2026?

Market Rules

Arctic sea ice reaches its minimum extension each September.

If the data displayed by NASA at https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/arctic-sea-ice/

on October 2026 indicates that the annual September minimum Arctic sea ice extent was lower than that observed in 2025, this market will resolve to “Yes".

Futuur will only take into account the data as available by early October 2026. Possible future revisions of the figures will not alter the resolution of the market.
