GIRDWOOD, Alaska — The area of the Arctic covered by sea ice has hit a record low, according to new satellite data. The news confirms the fears of environmentalists here that the steady and dramatic thawing of the ice is threatening the delicate ecosystem of the Arctic, and it has further rattled native communities who see their traditional way of life threatened by the effects of climate change. Scientists at the US National Snow and Ice Data Center reported Monday that satellite measurements of “sea ice extent,” or the amount of ice covering the sea surface, has shrunk to a level that goes beyond the record-breaking year of 2007.

The weight of the water being distributed causing the sea floor to drop, making it seems as if the levels are rising makes some sense to me. We have also been seeing more earthquakes in the Northern Atlantic area lately. |

Quoting: Epicbiscuit I'm a little in from the coast, about 50 miles from the Chesepeke Bay. Of course I do not worry myself sick over it and I do not think that we will have a huge body of water open up between the continent. I am starting to enjoy researching it. There are many therories out there and I'm curious as to what others think and know. |
