The Arctic ice cap will disappear completely in summer months within 20 to 30 years, according to a report by a polar research team.

An expedition led by adventurer Pen Hadow presented their findings and dropped the shocking news about the Arctic ice cap.  Hadow’s team says the Arctic ice cap will be “largely ice-free during the warmer months within a decade”, according to Yahoo News.

Polar explorer Hadow and his crew studided the Arctic ice cap for 73 days during the northern spring, taking more than 6,000 measurements and observations of the sea ice.
