"Figure 3. Barents Sea ice area in April, 1979-2012. From Pavlova and Gerland, MOSJ. Original caption: ""The figure shows the average ice area in April in the Barents Sea, the month with the highest prevalence of ice in the area. Data are shown as monthly mean values for each year (thin blue curve), running mean values over 3 years (thick blue curve), and linear trend throughout the period (red line). The inter annual variation is large, but there is also an obvious negative trend for April through the period. The lowest record of extent was observed in April 2006."""
