Danish Meteorological Institute Sea Ice Maps
The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) compiled these maps showing the distribution of Arctic sea ice based on reports sent to the institute from ship captains and observers on land. The maps were published annually in the Nautisk-Meteorologisk Aarbog (Nautical Meteorological Annual). The digital images here were provided by the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
