broken sea ice

Just read an interesting and very worrying article "Melting Arctic: ‘It’s a very different Svalbard" find it here www.climatechangenews.com/2016/11/22/melting-arctic-its-a...

An article written by Karl Mathiesen, he describes how even in late November Longyearben is free from ice,

I quote “It is a very different Svalbard that we are seeing now. The fjord doesn’t freeze and there were people fishing for cod just last week still; and that the cod themselves are in the fjord is an indication of a warmer ocean,”

Well worth reading the article.
