COJOMAY Posted October 17, 2008 #6 Share Posted October 17, 2008 Based on this article on AOL tonight, there are conflicting viewpoints on this topic... http://news.aol.com/article/arctic-temperatures-hit-record-highs/214670 L.J. If you look futher down in the AOL article, you will see they are using 2007 data even though the article was written in 2008. The glaciers have grown and there are colder temps in 2008.

wolfie11 Posted October 18, 2008 #7 Share Posted October 18, 2008 There are virtually no glaciers in the Alaskan Arctic. All the glaciers mentioned in the original article are in SE or Southcentral Alaska. - That's the place where the rainforest is - lots of rain at low elevations equals lots of snow at high elevations, especially if is is cold, so the snow down low doesn't melt.
