For the second year in a row, the cloak of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean failed to grow to
its normal winter expanse according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. The finding
led some climate experts to predict a record expansion of open water this summer.

This month, Earthscape (www.earthscape.org) offers recent publications on climate change
in the Arctic, Antarctic and Greenland, as well as the drastic impact these changes are
having on native populations in the Arctic Circle.

In addition to research and policy publications, the Earthscape homepage lists several
powerful web-based educational resources for all levels of learners as well as an
e-seminar from the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory entitled "Earth's Variable Climate".
