Arctic Glacier Likely to Be Melt Earlier Than Expected: Expert

Pyongyang, November 11 (KCNA) -- An oceanologist of Cambridge University recently estimated that the arctic glacier will be all melted by the summer of 2015 for global warming.

The estimation is much earlier than that of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is 2030.

Over the past eight years the glacier area lost 488 000 square kilometers.
