RSSAn electromagnetic “bird” dispatched to the Arctic for the most detailed look yet at the thickness of the ice has turned up a reassuring picture. The meltdown has not been as dire as some would suggest, said geophysicist Christian Haas of the University of Alberta. His international team flew across the top of the planet [...]
Arctic sea ice reached its maximum extent for the year on March 31 at 15.25 million square kilometers (5.89 million square miles). This was the latest date for the maximum Arctic sea ice extent since the start of the satellite record in 1979. Early in March, Arctic sea ice appeared to reach a maximum extent. [...]
The amount of sea ice covering the Arctic dramatically increased last month, reaching levels not seen at this time of year for nearly a decade. Returning ice – after years of declining cover – has astonished climate scientists who blamed unusually cold weather over the Bering Sea. Researchers said they recorded the most ice in [...]

Much of the record breaking loss of ice in the Arctic ocean in recent years is down to the region’s swirling winds and is not a direct result of global warming, a new study reveals. Ice blown out of the region by Arctic winds can explain around one-third of the steep downward trend in sea [...]
Nature News reports on a new PNAS paper by Patterson et al that uses clamshells in order to reconstruct temperatures in Northwest Iceland over a 2000 year period up to the year 1660: Most measures of palaeoclimate provide data on only average annual temperatures, says William Patterson, an isotope chemist at the University of Saskatchewan [...]
Thousands of passengers reportedly are stuck along with the ships ferrying them in Baltic Sea ice between Stockholm and the Aland Islands, located between Sweden and Finland. Both countries have sent icebreakers to rescue the ships in what is being called the worst Baltic freeze in 15 years. Four ferries of the Viking Line, which [...]
ScienceDaily (Mar. 3, 2010) — The melting of glaciers is well documented, but when looking at the rate at which they have been retreating, a team of international researchers steps back and says not so fast. Previous studies have largely overestimated mass loss from Alaskan glaciers over the past 40-plus years, according to Erik Schiefer, [...]
JPL News Release: Missing ‘Ice Arches’ Contributed to 2007 Arctic Ice Loss February 18, 2010 PASADENA, Calif. – In 2007, the Arctic lost a massive amount of thick, multiyear sea ice, contributing to that year’s record-low extent of Arctic sea ice. A new NASA-led study has found that the record loss that year was due [...]
Mr Gore, speaking at the Copenhagen climate change summit, stated the latest research showed that the Arctic could be completely ice-free in five years. In his speech, Mr Gore told the conference: “These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the [...]
