You can not count the number of ice that melted because ice is cold water.
I could just say to you that it is volumes and volumes of cold wate that was melted.

That is hard to determine since there was no accurate measurement of the amount of ice in 1900. Humans hadn't considered the idea of Artic melt at that time, so they did not measure. Here is a good link with some useful stats.

Satellite measurements show the area covered by Arctic winter sea ice reached an all-time low in March, down some 300,000 square kilometres on last year -an area bigger than the UK.

all of it was yellow ice. Have they actually measured the exact amount, I think it would be impossible.
