The ice layers on the North Pole are thinner than ever before. The melting is going far more rapidly than foreseen by the researchers, head of the Norwegian Cicero Center for International Climate and Environmental Research says.
Mr. Pål Presterud says the ice layers are reaching their thinnest level ever measured and that there is still a month left of the summer period in the area. US researchers have made the historic measurements.
The Norwegian researcher refers to studies made by William Chapman, researcher at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana. In an article in the journal "The Cryoshpere Today" he and his colleagues write that the ice melting now is taking place in all parts of the Arctic.
