New Ice out record. March 23rd at 09:30 A.M. 2012. (provided by Emerson Aviation). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.175.150.201 (talk) 15:41, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the results for 2013 and 2014, and it looks like they were both later than that, so it looks like 2012 still holds the record as of the time of this comment... Cooljeanius (talk) (contribs) 17:13, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Graph

The graph of ice-out dates should use a linear or 2nd order polynomial trendline. It looks like it is using a 6th order polynomial. This is causing the endpoints to be exaggerated. For example, if the graph started on a warm year (say 1902) and ended on a cold year (say 2008); a 5th or 6th order polynomial trendline would show that the earth is getting colder! -71.181.83.141 (talk) 06:48, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
