Canada is Melting
If you live in Canada right now this would not seem to be the case if you look outside your window… But, it’s true. We’re melting.
The edge of the ice floe along Davis Strait and southern Baffin Island has moved closer to shore this year, Environment Canada says.
Normally the ice floe edge is 400 to 500 kilometres offshore but this winter it’s about half that distance, says Lionel Hache who is with the department’s Canadian Ice Service.
Why?
The ice formed a couple of weeks later than usual in Baffin Bay and nearly a month later in Hudson Bay, he said.
This means it is thinner and expected to melt earlier than in past years unless there is a severe cold spell, he said.

Comments are sorta kinda broken right now. We're working on it but to save energy can only work in daytime when solar system is at peak performance.
