	NRDC: Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Why Trash an American Treasure for a Tiny Percentage of Our Oil Needs?
		Traversed by a dozen rivers and framed by jagged peaks, this spectacular wilderness is a vital birthing ground for polar bears, grizzlies, Arctic wolves, caribou and the endangered shaggy musk ox, a mammoth-like survivor of the last Ice Age.
		While proponents of drilling insist the Arctic Refuge could be developed by disturbing as little as 2,000 acres within the 1.5-million-acre coastal plain, a recent analysis by NRDC reveals this to be pure myth.
		Arctic Refuge 101: Fact Sheets -- Plain-language introductions to the refuge's extraordinary coastal plain, to big oil's impact in Prudhoe Bay and other North Slope areas, and to energy efficiency's advantages over more drilling.

	Arctic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arctic is mostly a vast, ice-covered ocean, surrounded by treeless, frozen ground.
		The Arctic region is one of the last and most extensive continuous wilderness areas in the world and its significance in preserving biodiversity and genotypes is considerable.
		The Arctic is particularly susceptible to the abrasion of groundcover and to the disturbance of the rare reproduction places of the animals that are characteristic to the region.

	Arctic Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Arctic Ocean, located mostly in the north polar region, is the smallest of the world's five oceans, and the shallowest.
		The average depth of the Arctic Ocean is 1,038 m (3,407 ft), in part due to the large extent of continental shelf extant on the Eurasian side [1].
		The Arctic is a major source of very cold air that inevitably moves toward the equator, meeting with warmer air in the middle latitudes and causing rain and snow.

	MSN Encarta - Arctic
		The principal geological elements of the Arctic include parts of three ancient landmasses, composed predominantly of granite and gneiss, which are called shields—the Baltic-Scandinavian-Russian Shield, the Angara Shield or Siberian Platform (in north central Siberia), and the Canadian Shield (including all the Canadian Arctic except for the Queen Elizabeth Islands).
		Mountain ranges are in the eastern Arctic region of Canada (notably on Baffin Island), in Yukon Territory, in northern Alaska, in coastal Greenland, in Iceland, and in northeastern Siberia.
		The North Pole is not the coldest spot in the Arctic, because its climate is moderated by the ocean.

	The Arctic: Ocean of Ice (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of all the oceans and is covered with ice most of the year.
		Most of the big icebergs in the Arctic Ocean come from Ellesmere Island and may even be called 'ice islands.' They often last several years and are used by scientists to set up long-term weather monitoring stations where equipment is left for a year or more.
		The Arctic also has large blooms of planktonic snails called pteropods which are food for many of the filter feeders.

	The Arctic
		IThe Arctic is warming much more rapidly than previously known, at nearly twice the rate of the rest of the globe, and increasing greenhouse gases from human activities are projected to make it warmer still, according to an unprecedented four-year scientific study of the region conducted by an international team of 300 scientists.
		At least half of the summer sea ice in the Arctic is projected to melt by the end of this century, along with a significant portion of the Greenland Ice Sheet, as the region is projected to warm an additional 7 to 13°F (4-7°C) by 2100.
		The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment was formally initiated in 2000 at the Ministerial Meeting of the Arctic Council at Point Barrow, Alaska as a joint project between the Arctic Council and the International Arctic Science Committee.

	Arctic Animal Printouts - EnchantedLearning.com
		Land within the Arctic Circle is tundra, and it supports less life most other biomes because of the cold temperatures, strong, dry winds, and permafrost (permanently-frozen soil).
		Many animals who overwinter in the Arctic (like the Arctic fox and the ermine) have a coat that thickens and changes color to white during the winter as camouflage in the snow (blending into the background is called cryptic coloration).
		Many animals (like the Arctic tern) spend the summer months in the Arctic, but leave as the weather turns frigid and food becomes scarce (these animals return again the next summer, repeating this pattern year after year).

		In physical terms, the Arctic is the area of the Earth north of the imaginary Arctic Circle at 66 degrees 30 minutes north latitude.
		It is inhabited mostly by the Arctic's indigenous peoples, including the circumpolar cultures of the Inuit, or Eskimo, and Aleut in North America; Saami, or Lapp, in northern Scandinavia; and, west to east, Uralic, Paleosiberian, Middle Asian and Arctic peoples in northern Russia.
		The Arctic Circle also marks the northernmost point at which the sun can be seen at the winter solstice (December 22 or thereabouts) and the southernmost point of the northern polar regions at which the midnight sun is visible.

		The Arctic Circle, incidentally, is an imaginary line located at 66º, 30'N latitude, and as a guide defines the southernmost part of the Arctic.
		In the summer months (further south), 24 hours of sunlight a day melts the seas and topsoil, and is the main cause of icebergs breaking off from the frozen north and floating south, causing havoc in the shipping lanes of the north Atlantic.
		The primary residents of the Arctic include the Eskimos (Inuits), Saami and Russians, with an overall population (of all peoples) exceeding 2 million.

		The Arctic is extremely vulnerable to climate change, and major physical, ecological, and economic impacts are expected to appear rapidly.
		Arctic indigenous communities are already noticing some of these changes: warmer winters, earlier break-up of ice in the spring, and thinner ice year round.
		And we assist in the development and implementation of adaptation strategies for species, ecosystems, and cultures in coping with a changing climate in the Arctic, particularly by contributing to the activities of the Circumarctic Protected Areas Network (CPAN) and the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA).

	RealClimate » The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
		Only considering the time series of Arctic temperature, it is impossible to tell what the cause of the 1930s warming was, what the cause of the recent warming is, and whether both have the same cause or not.
		This also means that the increase in Arctic temperatures probably is tropical in origin, as the tropical sea surface temperature increased 0.85 ÂºC/decade in the past decades, see: http://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/2002/2002_ChenCarlsonD.pdf.
		The Johannessen report that link recent arctic warming to GHG seems to be based on the assumtion that the positive phase of the NAO in the 90:s is caused by anthropogenic warming on the southern hemisphere.
