CLIMATE CHANGE:
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and the seals are finding the water too hot in some places according to a report to the Commerce Department from Consulate at Bergen, Norway yesterday.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while well-known glaciers have entirely disappeared at many points.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
