New paper finds Arctic sea ice was much less than present-day during the Holocene Climate Optimum ~6,000 years ago – Published in Quaternary Science Reviews
Study 'finds Arctic sea ice extent and thickness was much less than present-day conditions during the Holocene Climate Optimum from ~10,000-6,000 years ago. According to the authors, "Arctic Ocean sea ice proxies generally suggest a reduction in sea ice during parts of the early and middle Holocene (∼6000–10,000 years Before the Present) compared to present day conditions.'
