Could this imply that next year's melt season will exhibit more of the
same spectacular changes? If so, could we see a sudden disintegration
of the sea-ice in this area, some what analogous to the Larson ice
shelf breakup along the Antarctic Peninsula? Such an occurrence might
send a large pulse of low salinity water into the North Atlantic Sub
Polar Gyre. Oh, fun!
