Study shows Arctic ice at an 800 year low

Researchers who used historical meteorological data along with other sources, including a natural climate “archive”, to study the evolution of the ice sheet that is situated between Greenland and the European island archipelago Svalbard, have come to the conclusion that the Arctic ice in this area is currently at the lowest level seen in the past 800 years. The results and details of the study appear in the latest issue of Climate Dynamics.
