This one is best, and is interactive and regularly updated. https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-...

#6Unless I am mistaken, 16.96 million square kilometers is more than 15.9 million square kilometers (the recorded antarctic sea ice coverage in August 1966).

From the article.
> "This is the lowest sea ice maximum in the 1979 to 2023 sea ice record by a wide margin," said the NSIDC, a government-supported program at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The paper linked is also only an estimate using a different source of data.
>”Even adding in the Nimbus V single-channel Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR) data extends the record by only another 6 years and that data is not as com- plete or consistent [2].”
> “This paper presents Antarctic sea ice estimates for winter 1964 and 1966 derived from early Nimbus satellite data as an initial step towards creating Earth Science Data Records of sea ice in the 1960s.”
