This article from The Insurance Journal reports that the ice is thinner, exactly what you would expect, according to NASA. From the article: NASA has released the findings from its most recent satellite observations, which, taken in conjunction with other reports, confirms that "the Arctic is still on 'thin ice' when it comes to the condition of sea ice cover in the region. "A colder-than-average winter in some regions of the Arctic this year has yielded an increase in the area of new sea ice, while the older sea ice that lasts for several years has continued to decline." NASA's scientists said they believe that the increased area of sea ice this winter is due to recent weather conditions. However, the bulletin explained: "The decline in perennial ice reflects the longer-term warming climate trend and is a result of increased melting during summer and greater movement of the older ice out of the Arctic."
