Regiment has marked the hottest winter. The sea ice melted this year, records US meteorological data Tuesday.
The “is crazy, just crazy,” said director of the National Flight Data Centre in Boulder, Colorado, where it has been studying the Arctic since 1982. These heat waves have never been seen before. ”

In February, Arctic Sea ice covered 5.4 million square kilometers -- about 62,000 square miles smaller than last year's record -- announced the ice data centre, which stood 51,000 square kilometers below the 30-year rate.
Something similar has been observed in the Pacific with open water in the Bering Sea, usually frozen, said senior data centre scientist Walt Meier. /Periscopi/
