NASA: ''Thickest parts of Arctic ice cap melting faster''

"A new NASA study reveales that the oldest and thickest Arctic sea ice is disappearing at a faster rate than the younger and thinner ice at the edges of the Arctic Ocean’s floating ice cap.

The new research takes a closer look at how multi-year ice, ice that has made it through at least two summers, has diminished with each passing winter over the last three decades. Multi-year ice extent is diminishing at a rate of -15.1 percent per decade, the study found."
