I have made two videos about it and formulated some possibilities as for the cause:
Since i remained clueless about the cause i have send a mail to the NSIDC to see if they have further information about it.
Here is the answer from the NSIDC which is very disappointing

Hi Youcef,
Thank you for contacting NSIDC.
This was reported by NOAA (http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/faq.html): “Recently there have been newspaper articles describing the existence of open water at the North Pole. This situation is infrequent but has been known to occur as the ice is shifted around by winds. In itself, this observation is not meaningful. Of more importance is the evidence that the Arctic ice cover has been thinning over large areas during the last twenty years. If this trend continues, there may be significant changes in the northern hemisphere heat balance and possibly in ocean circulation.” This seems to indicate winds as the culprit generally. Back in 2013 NSIDC did report on such an occurrence: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/201…
Best regards,
Amy
According to the NSIDC winds created that spherical hole in the middle of the Arctic which is absolute nonsense and furthermore the sea water warmed to 9° Celcius in just a matter of days in that hole while the average temperature is like -10°C in the arctic in october.
So evidently the NSIDC did not wan’t to disclose anything about this.
As of the moment of writing the anomaly is zstill there but almost faded entirely!
Here is a link where the data can accesed:

The anomaly strated at the end of september and lasted almost anentire month as it is still visible but fading almost completely in the last image.
