The water level in the Arctic Ocean decreased by 2cm / year

Source: brosha According to data from the ERS -2 satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA), the team of scientists from Germany and the Netherlands discovered that the water level in the Arctic Ocean is decreasing rapidly, average about 2 cm per year.

This finding shocked the global scientific community and could not find evidence to explain this strange phenomenon.

The ice melts at a fast rate at the poles because the warming Earth is making water in the oceans rise and threatening to submerge small islands in the oceans, but in the Arctic Ocean alone, the sea level drops.

Scientists around the world plan to set up research missions to the Arctic Ocean expedition in 2007, the International Year of the Earth's poles, to find a solution to this phenomenon.
