Take a look at yesterday's graphs and ice extent images for both the Arctic and Antarctica. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a low record in the Arctic this year with only 4-5 weeks of melt left. http://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index/daily.html

However, there is some chance that a record will be set for the highest amount of ice extent in the Antarctica since records began in 1979.
