[Igor Polyakov of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks]: I recall a seminar at AARI (St.-Petersburg, Russia) which happened many years ago (around 1995) , when an AARI scientist reported a peculiarity in central-basin ice cover which he associated with volcano activity. Similar to what you are talking. I remember that during the seminar people were skeptical but maybe this gentleman was right?
