Likely study you're misinterpreting:

I don't believe I am misinterpreted anything. The graph in the second link you posted show no decrease in the last 20 years. Here is an article:

The melting of sea ice in the Arctic has slowed dramatically in the past 20 years, scientists have reported, with no statistically significant decline in its extent since 2005.

This year there is much more ice: The minimum Arctic sea ice extent for 2025 has been set at 4.602 million km². This is 350,000 km² more than last year and 180,000 km² above the average for the past decade.
