Quote by: Phil_80  The melting of the Arctic ice is a myth. The size of the ice caps fluctuate considerable over a series of months let alone a series of years. |
It isn't a myth:

And remember that's extent, not thickness. The area extent loss during last summer's dramatic melt has been gained again by freezing, but how thick that ice can get during this winter will be an important factor in how it fares during the melt period this summer.
