In the Arctic, the Old Ice Is Disappearing. (The New York Times, 5/14/2018)
As darker, heat-absorbing water replaces reflective ice, it hastens warming in the region. Older ice is generally thicker than newer ice and thus more resilient to heat. But as the old ice disappears, the newer ice left behind is more vulnerable to rising temperatures.
