Do you know the North Pole could be ice free this summer? Today the Independent is reporting: Exclusive: No ice at the North Pole - Polar scientists reveal dramatic new evidence of climate change
The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic – and worrying – examples of the impact of global warming on the planet. Scientists say the ice at 90 degrees north may well have melted away by the summer.
Meanwhile National Geographic has reported: North Pole May Be Ice Free for First Time This Summer
“I would say the ice in the vicinity of the North Pole is primed for melting, and an ice-free North Pole is a good possibility,” Sheldon Drobot, a climatologist at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research at the University of Colorado, said by email.
Arctic warming has become so dramatic that ice covering the North Pole may melt this summer for the first time in history, according to scientists in the field.
