Cracks are good, they push the ice into long piles and up making it thicker in many areas. There were 3 large cyclones that was on cause for the cracks. Large Ice Breaing ships create large waves under the ice alo cracking it mant miles away from where they crushed the ice.
The anomalies (cracks) allow for faster change (ice recovery), otherwise there could be no acceleration of the process, right?
In 2013 the two main “agents of change” were the low temperatures of the summer and favorable winds, I believe.

Actually, there seems to be a negative correlation between scientific education and knowledge of Arctic ice behavior. It could be because they believe history began in 1979, or it could be they are more political than scientists.
Whatever the case, I don’t base one’s wisdom on the number of sheep skins on his wall.
Interesting that the first metaphor that comes to his mind is about illegal narcotics.
