I doubt it. But its harder to say what the true extent of the ice was in 1979. I suppose folks could hunt through the old SCAMS (SCAnning Microwave Spectrometer) dataset to get an apples to apples comparison with the present MSU dataset, but I doubt anyone will.

There is so much ‘data’ on this issue that comes from extrapolations, fudge factors and estimates, it is hard to call it data at all.
