Arctic sea ice extent in January has recovered sharply since last year, and stands at the highest level since 2013, and higher than even 2005.

Much of it is 2m or more thick:

And ice volume is also up this year:

There was certainly a decline in sea ice extent and volume probably beginning in the 1990s, and it culminated in the large losses in 2007 and 2008.

But it is clear that, looking at both summer and winter data, sea ice has been stable since then, despite the occasional up and down.
