Warmer Where It Is Cold
A professor recently informed the Norwegian Geographical Society in Oslo of’ interesting changes in climatic conditonis in the far north. He described the gradual but very discernible loss registered by the Norwegian glaciers and those in Sweden, Iceland and Greenland. As much as one and a half to three millions tons of water per square kilometre are estimated to be lost annually.
In proof the professor quotes the fact that coal companies were able to ship coal at. Spitsbergen without an ice-breaker on only 95 days in 1919, but in 1939 shipments were possible on no fewer than 203 days.
