Fig. 3: The difference in sea ice thickness between two twenty year averages: 2040-2059 and 1980-1999. View is looking down on the North Pole. Color scale is from -2 to 2 meters. Grey indicates lond masses. Averages reflect year-round calculations; changes are even greater in summer months, when melting occurs.
