Hi iceman, Sorry for the tardy reply, that pesky real life thing again...:) The reason there is so little excitement about the
record high
sea ice extent in the
antarctic (aside from it having no appealing potential victims, like polar bears) versus the
record low arctic
sea ice is probably because the southern
record is only a matter of 2 % anamoly, whereas in the north we are now looking at levels over 40 % below average.
