This radio broadcast reports on how tourists and even some scientists aboard a Russian cruise ship in July 2000 were shocked to discover open water at the North Pole. However, scientists who study the Arctic say open water at the pole is a common occurrence. The broadcast discusses how much of the changes seen in the Arctic are a result of global warming versus the natural variability that has been going on for hundreds of years. The broadcast is 5 minutes in length.
