Arctic sea ice hits record low
http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/story/2011/09/12/science-arctic-sea-ice-record.html
"The amount of sea ice covering the Arctic is lower than ever before, satellite data show.
The Arctic sea ice hit a record low of 4.24 million square kilometres on Sept. 8, breaking a previous record set on Sept. 16, 2007 by 27,000 square kilometres, the Physical Analysis and Remote Sensing Images unit at the University of Bremen's Institute of Physical Analysis reported in a news release."
But wait, there's more!
"The record could "even be undercut in the next weeks," the release said, as sea ice is continuing to melt."
