Arctic Sea Ice Flash Resource

[Rob Burn]

Really interesting INSET with Cam and Sue last Monday on the Global Warming Hazards Unit. Discussion of the Arctic case study lined up with some publishing work I'm doing for a Geoactive on evidence for global warming. Went looking for a sea ice retreat map and found this rather nice flash page.

That's amazing - especially thr asymmetry of it - do you think the Russians might be doing something like putting explosives under the ice on their bit in order to melt it so that they can more easily access potential oil & gas fields??!!
