The Arctic Ocean, located in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Arctic north polar region, is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major oceanic divisions. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or simply the Arctic Sea, classifying it as one of the mediterranean seas of the Atlantic Ocean. Alternatively, the Arctic Ocean can be seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing World Ocean.
Almost completely surrounded by Eurasia and North America, the Arctic Ocean is partly covered by sea ice throughout the year (and almost completely in winter). The Arctic Ocean's temperature and salinity vary seasonally as the ice cover melts and freezes; its salinity is the lowest on average of the five major oceans, due to low evaporation, heavy freshwater inflow from rivers and streams, and limited connection and outflow to surrounding oceanic waters with higher salinities. The summer shrinking of the ice has been quoted at 50%. The US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) uses satellite data to provide a daily record of Arctic sea ice cover and the rate of melting compared to an average period and specific past years.

Abercrombie Kent: A Day in Antarctica
Stained and afraid that this won't ever go away
Engulfed inside a blaze of memories
And the strain of digging holes, is beginning to take it's toll
And I saw this coming, when you started running over my dreams but isn't it funny
It eats at me slowly and I found redemption in suffering
And it's just like you to say, I'd be better off without you anyway
Now I'm stumbling through my words and it's all your fault, so feel guilty
Stained and looking for a way out of this mess
The feelings and the truth are hard to confess
But you've seen the cycle round now I guess you had me figured out
So you watched me suffer, it inched it's way slowly under my skin
But I saw this coming, when you started running
Now it seems sensible to burn the bridge
And it's just like you to say, that it's better when you have things your own way
Now I'm stumbling through my words and it's all your fault
