The ice about North Pole disappears faster, than even the most sceptical forecasts have anticipated.

During the last year about one quarter of the ice mass in the area has disappeared, senior researcher Rasmus Tonboe estimates at Danmark Meteorologiske Institut, DMI.

"We have just analysed new satellite pictures of the ice, which shows that there is about 25 pct. less ice, than it was a year ago.

It's completely wild", Rasmus Tonboe ascertains.

The temperature has risen

He explains the dramatic de-melting with two conditions:

"Firstly the temperature has in the area risen, secondly there has been changed current conditions, which have led large quantities of ice away from the arctic regions.

There is no doubt that the ice melts, but nobody has dared anticipate that it'd happen so quickly, as that we now see", it sounds from Rasmus Tonboe.

Great consequences

So far the most dramatic predictions have talked about that North Pole may be completely ice-free in summer once between 2040 and 2060.

If the present de-melting doesn't appear to be an accidental variation of the climate, but is due to the global heating, it can even go faster.

"Then it want to not go 40 years, before the arctic regions are ice-free.

Then it wants to not stop", professor Eigil Kaas from the University of Copenhagen thinks.



Dramatic consequences

Professor Ola Johannessen from Nansen Instituttet in Bergen thinks that it'll get dramatic consequences for the climate on the whole globe, if the arctic ocean stays ice-free.

"That will get great consequences for the weather in Greenland and on the rest of the globe.

That will change the entire global climate, if we get a news, ice-free ocean", thinks Ola Johannessen, who is one of the researchers who have followed the developments in the arctic ice most closely.
