Arctic Ice Shrinks to New Low

The University of Colorado at Boulder said there is a 92 percent chance the 2007 September minimum extent of sea ice across the Arctic region will set an all-time record low. Researchers had previously said the chance of setting a record was only 33 percent. "During the first week in July, the Arctic sea ice started to disappear at rates we had never seen before," said Drobot.
