    • he layer of ice over the Arctic
      Ocean has thinned “dramatically” this decade, with its thin
      seasonal blanket for the first time making up a bigger portion
      of the total ice than the thicker, older coat, a study said.
    • In 2003, 62 percent of the ocean’s ice cover was older,
      thicker ice, with 38 percent in seasonal layers, the researchers
      found. Five years later, 68 percent of the ice cap was made up
      of seasonal ice.
