Research into the icecap of North Pole
has found that it is melting so quickly
than Arctic Ocean could lose most of ice
during summer time in as little as ten years.
Scientists of Cambridge University say recent expedition
to the Arctic led by explorer Pen Hadow
found ice was much thinner than expected and less dense,
making it vulnerable to rapid melting.
Mr. Hadow said the finding should act as a wake-up call.
The long-term view for the global community,
this is definitely not good news.
But if we can see this for what it is
which is the biggest visual cue
that we are going to get to
manage our relationship with the planet better,
then that is a good thing.
