It's 25% above normal right now and not only is it a record high, it's about 10% higher than the previous record (2009)!!!!
See, http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/antarctic.sea.ice.interactive.html for a comparison of previous years. This year is in yellow and look how far it's above the previous years.
Good display.
