The Arctic Sea Ice extent this September was far smaller than the previous record, set in 2007. At 3.4 mi stanley thermobecher llion square kilometers of ice coverage, this year Arctic minimum was 800,000 square kilometers smaller than the previous record 鈥?and the difference between the previous record and this year is larger than the entire state of Texas. An stanley isolierkanne ice-free summer in the Arctic, once projected to be more than a century away, now looks possible decades from now. Some people even say that it looks likely in just the next few years. What happening in the Arctic Why is it happening And does it matter for the bulk of us who live thousands of miles away from it Faster and Faster Conditions in the Arctic change dramatically through the seasons. In the depths of winter, the Earth tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day darkness. Temperatures, cold year round, plunge even lower. The sea surface freezes over. At the height of summer, the opposite tilt puts the Arctic in 24 hour-a-day sunlight. While it a cold cold place even at these times, the constant sunshine, warmer air, and influx of warm waters from further south serve to melt the ice. The ice cap usually starts shrinking in March, and then reaches its smallest area in mid-September, before cooling temperatures and shorter days start the water freezing and stanley becher the ice cap growing once again. When scientists and reporters talk about an ice-free Arctic, they ;re usually speaking of the Arctic in Meut OKCupid s New Blind Date App Aims to Find You Love (Or Random Sex) on the Fly
