Reducing Arctic sea ice in the background Antarctic increases is an interesting puzzle for scientists.

Recall that earlier some organizations made statements that in the summer 2013, the Arctic will be completely cleared of ice. However, Arctic ice remains much thinner than in previous years, as confirmed by direct and indirect observations.

Increased Antarctic Sea Ice Area Scientists associated with strong circumpolar winds that blow ice outward and contribute to the expansion of the area. Unlike dramatic reduction of ice in the Arctic Antarctica ice area annually increases by 1.1%.
