Shrinking Arctic Ice Reveals Historic Pattern Shifts
A Polar Geography study extends 75 years of data from 1850s ship records showing summer Arctic ice edge moving far north, with Cook’s era ice near 70 degrees north in August. Modern warming has cut summer ice 60 to 70 percent since the 1980s, opening routes like the Northwest Passage and spurring Arctic oil exploration.

Turkish officials push back against critics of a bill allowing men who commit sexual assault to avoid punishment by marrying underage girls. Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag says the measure targets child marriage, not rapist amnesty, and excludes cases involving force.
