What? Like Drilling for oil in that virgin territory? It's like Science Fiction becomes non-fiction.
"We'll always have ice in the winter time in the Arctic, but it will always be first-year ice," Barber said on Friday.

We live on a dynamic, ever changing planet. The arctic has been free of ice before - just imagine what we will find there. And, the arctic will freeze again. I just wish I could live for a thousand years. Oh, and I vote for Barbarella.
