(By the way, I think it's a bit amusing that the alleged nine polar bears are now all allegedly swimming exactly 400 miles north to the ice, when just yesterday they were allegedly swimming exactly 400 miles south to shore.)
Professor Mark Serreze, a sea ice specialist at the official US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), said the images provided evidence the Arctic ice cap may have gone into a 'death spiral'.Note that there is still about 480,000 square kilometers MORE ice in the Arctic this year than in 2007. Serreze's repeated attempts to spin this as LESS ice represent outright fraud on his part.
He told the Independent on Sunday: 'It's a historic event. We are going to see this more and more as the years go by.'

But the satellite pictures are the latest indication of a growing crisis in the Arctic.
Baffin Island's Auyuittuq National Park was evacuated four weeks ago when melting glaciers caused it to flood.
Two weeks later, nine polar bears were spotted off Alaska trying to swim 400 miles north to the thawing ice cap edge.
