Take a look at the ice up there today:
Looks kind of thin to me. I really did think there was more ice up there. Not looking good.

The Ebb and Flow of Arctic Ice 1979-2018
Without even pulling up an image from this day last year I can state categorically that there was no four-metre thick ice last year around this date. This is August and is near the peak melt season in September, come October it will start freezing again.
You cannot judge the state of the ice unless you compare it to the same day year over year. Take a look at 2017 on Aug 9 and 2016 and I think you will see that there is more ice this year than last.
I am curious as to where you got this image, I largely use Danish Meteorological Institute as my go to and do not recognize who produced it.
