"In previous summers, some of the [multi-year ice] migrated over to the Alaska and Siberia areas where it melted. But this past summer, it stayed in place because of a change in wind patterns. And so there'll likely be more multi-year ice next year than there was this year," he told BBC News. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25383373
One commonly raised problem is âHow could you fit all those huge dinosaurs on the Ark?â First, of the 668 supposed dinosaur genera, only 106 weighed more than ten tons when fully grown. Second, as said above, the number of dinosaur genera is probably greatly exaggerated. But these numbers are granted by Woodmorappe to be generous to skeptics. Third, the Bible does not say that the animals had to be fully grown. The largest animals were probably represented by âteenageâ or even younger specimens. The median size of all animals on the ark would actually have been that of a small rat, according to Woodmorappeâs up-to-date tabulations, while only about 11% would have been much larger than a sheep http://creation.com/how-did-all-the-animals-fit-on-noahs-ark
