It's become almost part of the scientific bible that the Arctic ice has become less of a problem due to warmer summers. But just recently ships have been stuck in the Arctic Ocean due to heavy ice, which has been called by the Canadian Coast Guard the heaviest ice in twenty years in one case and in ten years in the other. Is this just an aberration that scientists can explain?

This appears to be in Hudson bay and the Strait of Belle Isle, Newfoundland. One possible explanation is that more than usual Arctic sheet ice is breaking off and drifting south due to the warming seawater. I'm no expert, but there's no evidence of a slowing in the melt of the main ice sheet, quite the opposite.
