Arctic ice cap on course for record melt
United States scientists say the Arctic ice cap is melting at a startlingly rapid rate and may shrink to its smallest-ever level within weeks as the planet's temperatures rise.
University of Colorado researchers say the summer ice in the Arctic is already nearing its lowest level recorded, even though the melt season is not yet over.
"The numbers are coming in and we are looking at them with a sense of amazement," said Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Centre at the university.
