Experts warn of melting 'ice arches' Natural dams stop big Arctic Ocean icebergs from floating south By Randy Boswell, Canwest News ServiceMarch 2, 2010 5:07 AM
A team of international scientists is sounding alarms about the state of a natural ice dam in northeastern Canada that has historically prevented older, thicker Arctic Ocean sea ice from drifting south through a narrow passage along Ellesmere Island and melting in warmer waters.
A study by U.S. and Danish researchers -- including NASA's leading experts on the polar ice cap -- describes how the Nares Strait "ice arches" failed to form during the winter of 2007 in the 35-kilometre gap between Ellesmere and the northwest coast of Greenland.
Sea ice typically consolidates in distinctive, curved structures at the north end of the strait -- not far from Hans Island, the subject of a decades-old territorial dispute between Canada and Denmark.
But when the blockage failed to materialize as usual in 2007 -- the same year a record-setting Arctic thaw first raised global concern about polar warming -- the central Arctic Ocean discharged double the average annual amount of sea ice through Nares Strait, the researchers found...

:sarcasm: cause someone's going to ask if I'm serious.
