最新的研究报告表明,紧贴在南极夏科岛的一个薄长形冰的碎片正在迅速地崩塌,并似即将发生断裂。
The latest reports show that a thin sliver of ice attaching it to the Antarctic's Charcot Island is rapidly collapsing and threatening to break.
今年的早些时候,科学家们曾发出警告,因为较薄的“一年冰”的比例高于往常,2008年海面冰层的总量会跌至历史新低。
Earlier this year, scientists warned that sea ice volume reached a record low in 2008 due to an unusually high proportion of the thinner first year ice.
冰河变小了,这时新的问题出现了,冰变的薄了。
The rivers become small, there is a new problem - the thin ice.
新形成的冰比原来的更薄,融化速度更快。
北极全面融冰的机会要高于往年,这是因为覆盖海洋冰层的厚度比以前薄了,他说。
The chances for a total meltdown at the pole are higher than ever because the layer of ice coating the sea is thinner than ever, he said.
问题是,重新冻结的冰很大程度上相对较薄,所以被称为“首年冰”。
The problem is that much of that refreezing creates a relatively thin layer of so-called first-year ice.
去年是北极地区冰层融化创记录的一年,如今北极周围的冰带更薄了。
Last year was a record year for ice melt all over the Arctic and the ice band surrounding the North Pole is even thinner now.
较薄的等温线使下面温暖的海水快速流转,从而加快冰融化。
A thinner isotherm allows faster turnover of warmer waters from below, which speeds ice-melt. The process is self-perpetuating: as ice melts, the ocean absorbs more heat and melts more ice, and so on.
冰已经变得非常薄,但最危险交易应比反向来的好。
The ice is getting very thin, but most risk trades should be better than the opposite.

Go drinking ice every time, I Hen Buneng a wooden chair with a tissue to wipe a thin half, and then designate your Yingying the seated statue.
越薄fresh-formed冰也更容易融化热源附近举行的海洋表面云层和水蒸气。
The thinner fresh-formed ice was also more vulnerable to melting from heat held near the ocean surface by clouds and water vapor.
