Look at data for a series of years for Feb, South pole

res <- sapply(seq(1986, 1990, 1), function(x)
    sea_ice(x, month = 'Feb', pole = 'S'))
lapply(res, head)

Map a single year/month/pole combo

ggplot(res[[1]], aes(long, lat, group=group)) +
    geom_polygon(fill="steelblue") +
    theme_ice()

Map all years for April only for North pole

dat <- sea_ice(year = 1985:1990, month = 'Apr', pole = 'N')
df <- bind_rows(dat, .id = "x")
ggplot(df, aes(long, lat, group = group)) +
  geom_polygon(fill = "steelblue") +
  theme_ice() +
  facet_wrap(~ x)
