      researchers say the Arctic is ice-free when the ocean has less than 1 million square kilometers of ice.

      The size of the Arctic Ocean is 14.06 million km². One million km² represents 7.11%. What's the scientifc rationale to define 7.11% of ice covering as the threshold of "ice-free"? I'm wondering.
