Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic Zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed that the gulf stream is still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have completely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic Ocean, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never ventured so far north, are being encountered in old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
P.s. I must apologize. This report was published in November 2nd, 1922 in the Washington Post.... 93 years ago!
Jubilate.
