This just in from the Atlantic. The ice and snow that stretched into the horizon when Mathew Henson and Robert Peary first reached the North Pole over a century ago is no longer—at least periodically. As the photos from The Atlantic show, the North Pole is now a lake. The ice and snow up there melts away from time to time now.
The globe is warming a lot. Welcome to a very different world.
