Yeah, that wording is clunky. I guess, according to the article, the ice is known to melt and return in a cyclical pattern every year. This year almost a million square miles of ice did not form as expected.
Take a look at this chart

Wow that's crazy
Cropped Y axis exaggerates it a bit, but it's still a fair deficit.
The whole article is a bit clunky to read.
"The word 'unprecedented' gets thrown around a lot..." Are you trying to reach a minimum word count?
