How Captain Robert Scott's log book from his expedition of Antarctica more than 100 years ago raises troubling new doubts about global warming
- The records kept by two of Britain's most famous explorers raises doubt
- They show remarkably little change in sea ice in more than 100 years
To the surprise of academics from the University of Reading, the records kept by the expeditions of Captain Robert Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton in the early years of the last century -- which detail the extent of ice cover, the state of the sea and the weather -- show there has been remarkably little change in the extent of sea ice at the other end of the world.
Dr Jonathan Day, who led the study, said: 'The data collected by these and other explorers could profoundly change the way we view the ebb and flow of Antarctic sea ice.
'We know that sea ice in the Antarctic has increased slightly over the past 30 years, since satellite observations began.
'Scientists have been grappling to understand this trend in the context of global warming, but these findings suggest it may not be anything new.'
