	Polar Ice Cap Studies Refute Catastrophic Global Warming Theories by James M. Taylor -- Capitalism Magazine
		A series of recent studies shows that the polar ice caps, which should be shrinking if dire global warming theories are correct, are maintaining their mass and in fact growing slightly.
		The study concluded, "mean ice thickness has remained on a near-constant level around the North Pole from 1986-1997." Moreover, the study noted data from six different submarine cruises under the Arctic sea ice showed little variability and a "slight increasing trend" in the 1990s.
		The recent polar ice studies, which measured surface rather than atmospheric temperature trends (and which were far removed from the effects of urban heat islands and questionable third-world temperature readings), lend weight to the argument that satellite readings, not surface monitoring stations, are correct.

	Ice cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An ice cap is a dome-shaped ice mass that covers less than 50,000 km² of land area (usually covering a highland area).
		Ice caps are not constrained by topographical features (i.e., they will lie over the top of mountains) but their dome is usually centred around the highest point of a massif.
		Ice flows away from this high point (the ice divide) towards the ice cap's periphery.

	Polar ice cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A polar ice cap or polar ice sheet is a high-latitude region of a planet or moon that is covered in ice.
		Polar ice caps do not have size, composition or geologic requirements of being over land, but they must be centered in the polar region.
		Earth's polar ice caps are mainly water ice, while Mars's polar ice caps are a mixture of carbon dioxide ice and water ice.

	Interactive Polar Ice Cap Melter ::: Everybody's Weather ::: NASA satellite images show dramatic polar sea ice cap melt ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Perennial ice cover is ice that survives the summer melt, consisting mainly of thick multiyear ice floes that are the mainstay of the Arctic sea ice cover.
		For the perennial ice to recover, sustained cooling is needed, especially during the summer period.
		If ice were to grow back in these areas, the new ice would likely be thinner and more susceptible to future melt than the thick perennial ice that it replaces.

	Antarctica ice cap thickening (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		As glaciers from Greenland to Kilimanjaro recede at record rates, the central ice cap of Antarctica has steadily grown for the past 11 years, partially offsetting rising seas due to the melt waters of global warming, researchers said yesterday.
		The additional snowfall is enough to account for an extra 45 billion tons of water added to the ice sheet every year, just about equal to the annual amount of water flowing into the ocean from the melting Greenland ice cap, the scientists reported in research published online yesterday by the journal Science.
		The growth in the East Antarctic ice cap is enough to slow sea-level rise by a fraction of that -- about 0.12 millimeters a year -- the researchers reported.

		Greenland's ice sheet holds a record going back more than 100,000 years of the water and air that made the snow that's been compressed into ice.
		A new, deep ice core is being drilled at the highest point of the ice sheet to try to resolve apparently conflicts between the records shown in two cores drilled during the 1980s and 1990s.
		Scientists are also drilling into Antarctica's ice and glaciers and ice caps in other parts of the world.

	Greenland's Ice Cap is Melting at a Frighteningly Fast Rate
		The vast ice cap that covers Greenland nearly three miles thick is melting faster than ever before on record, and the pace is speeding year by year, according to global climate watchers gathering data from twin satellites that probe the effects of warming on the huge northern island.
		The same satellites tracking Greenland's ice cap also are monitoring the melt rate of Antarctica's ice cover, and there too the melting is adding to the global rise in sea level, according to another team of scientists.
		According to the researchers, surface melting of Greenland's ice cap reached 57 cubic miles a year between April of 2002 and November of 2005, compared to about 19 cubic miles a year between 1997 and 2003.

	NASA - NASA Findings Suggest Jets Bursting From Martian Ice Cap
		Jets of carbon dioxide gas erupting from the ice cap as it warms in the spring carry dark sand and dust high aloft.
		Deducing the eruptions of carbon dioxide gas from under the warming ice cap solves the riddle of the spots.
		However, the camera on Odyssey, which sees in both infrared and visible-light wavelengths, discovered that the spots are nearly as cold as the carbon dioxide ice, suggesting they were just a thin layer of dark material lying on top of the ice and kept chilled by it.

	Adventures of ice & snow in Greenland
		The ice cap - up to three kilometers thick - covers an area 14 times the size of England, and icebergs snap off the glaciers at the edges of the ice cap.
		Visiting the ice cap is possible from most towns in Greenland, although it usually takes a helicopter flight or a boat trip to reach the edge of the inland ice.
		In Kangerlussuaq the ice cap is only 20 kilometers away and you can hike, drive, fly or mountain bike to there - and stay overnight if you bring a tent.

	Mars is Melting
		The south polar ice cap of Mars is receding, revealing frosty mountains, rifts and curious dark spots.
		While the south polar cap is vaporizing the north polar cap is growing.
		A physicist would say more accurately "the polar caps are subliming." In other words, the frozen CO --better known as "dry ice"--transforms directly from a solid to a gas without going through an intermediate liquid phase.

		Scientists with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are flying over the shrinking Arctic ice cap this summer in an effort to determine just how much the melting ice is contributing to the rise of sea level worldwide.
		NASA is using a Twin Otter plane to study ice caps including the Penny and Barnes caps on Baffin Island, the Devon Island ice cap and Agassiz on Ellesmere Island.
		The plane is equipped with an ice-penetrating radar to measure its thickness, and a laser altimeter that determines whether the elevation of the ice surface is changing.

	The Big Thaw: Global Disaster Will Follow If the Ice Cap on Greenland Melts
		The new evidence from Greenland, to be published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, shows a sudden decline in the giant Helheim glacier, a river of ice that grinds down from the inland ice cap to the sea through a narrow rift in the mountain range on the island's east coast.
		As the centre of the Greenland ice cap is only 150 miles away, the researchers fear that it, too, will soon be affected.
		The studies have found that water from melted ice on the surface is percolating down through holes on the glacier until it forms a layer between it and the rock below, slightly lifting it and moving it toward the sea as if on a conveyor belt.

	NRDC: Global Warming Puts the Arctic on Thin Ice
		The polar ice cap as a whole is shrinking.
		Yes -- the contraction of the Arctic ice cap is accelerating global warming.
		Melting glaciers and land-based ice sheets also contribute to rising sea levels, threatening low-lying areas around the globe with beach erosion, coastal flooding, and contamination of freshwater supplies.

	Greenland's ice cap is melting at a frighteningly fast rate
		The estimate of the melting trend that has been observed for nearly a decade comes from a University of Texas team monitoring a satellite mission that measures changes in the Earth's gravity over the entire Greenland ice cap as the ice melts and the water flows down into the Arctic ocean.
		The report on Greenland is being published today in the on-line edition of the journal Science by the University of Texas scientists at Austin, including Chen, aerospace engineer Byron Tapley and geologist Clark Wilson.
		A recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change -- known as the IPCC -- estimated that during all of the past century worldwide melting ice from global warming had raised sea levels by only two-tenths of a millimeter a year, or about 20 inches for the entire century.

		I gave the robot an angry glare, then the sudden cool air of the nearby Ice Cap mountain range overcame the warm, tropical air of the island.
		The next thing he felt was the tip of the snowboard slamming into the side of the mountain as the front end became stuck in the frozen rock.
		About fifty meters in front of them was a row of ice stalagmites which blocked off the tunnel.
