The 2009 Arctic melting gained momentum, it is now below 2008 and accelerates. A massive bloom of algae has set up Alaska’s coast guard and Innuits. Nobody remembers that kind of occurrence in Chukchi Sea at any time.
Greenpeace expects the collapse of hundred square kilometers of the Petermann glacier soon. The Arctic Sunrise anchored closely enough to document from helicopters. Cams have been installed on the glacier.
Above image shows east Greenland close to the Jakobshavn glacier with all the melting ponds giving the ice sheet the structure of a sponge. Each pixel equals roughly a few hundred meters.
