It's the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas - ie the region north of the Bering Strait. You can get the graph for the whole Arctic sea ice here:

https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph/

This year was the lowest ever from March 31st to May 10th; and then again from June 9th (though it looks highly likely it's about to lose the "lowest ever for this date" title, to 2016 or 2012).
