Cold winds are blowing from the Siberian region. As the winds blow across the Arctic Ocean, ice is forming and being pushed toward the existing ice pack. This cools the existing Arctic waters and forms new ice at an accelerated rate. Check out the time lapse on http://ocean.dmi.dk/arctic/satellite/index.uk.php .
The Sun will be perpendicular to the Earth’s axis of rotation in 30 days. Almost no energy will reach the Pole from the Sun. All energy will be coming from the warm Arctic Ocean. It will be fun to watch the time lapse, and see ice creation caused by winds.
