US Weather Bureau Report
Read to the bottom.................interesting
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some
places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the
Commerce Department yesterday from Consul Ifft, at Bergen , Norway . Reports
from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers, he declared, all point to a radical
change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north
as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream
still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones,
the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of
herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered
in the old seal fishing grounds.
I'm sorry, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922 as reported by
the AP and published in The Washington Post.
