"Nowadays ice conditions are thinner than in the 1970s and 80s. The ice used to be 20 to 30 feet thick but now it is more like 10 feet thick. But what can we do? Sometimes I feel sad but we just have to go with what we have got. 

"Up here in the Arctic we are definitely warming up, the polar pack ice has all but gone." 


** Alaskan people tell of climate change **
Scientists have found a rich new record of climate change, stretching back decades - the native people of Alaska.
