Atlantic Front sea ice collapsing

~With top of sea ice snow curtain melted,  the status at the Atlantic Front is revealed
~It is broken up ,  ready to move anywhere, at the winds whim

    Deep past the Atlantic ice front between Spitzbergen and Franz Josef Islands lies a state of loose pack ice, ready for the clearing,  only if the winds team up with the sea current.  And so it is just a matter of synergistic coincidence as to whether a massive melt will show at end of September.  NASA EOSDIS June 20-23 2020 loop  depicts a rather unsteady flow, moving one way one day,  the opposite direction the next. Once a certain towards the South wind pattern hits this region for about 1 week,  the clearing will be done.  leaving sea ice even further towards the Pole more vulnerable. 
The survival of 2020 sea ice is rather precarious at this moment.  WD June 24,2020
