Climate is a dynamic thing. The more data meteorologists and climatologists gather, the more complex the system appears. For instance, it's "warmer" in the Southern Hemisphere now than in recent years, perhaps. In the Northern Hemisphere a lot of record low temperatures have been recorded in the past decade.
"Nunatak" is a Greenland Inuit word for an ice-buried mountain.

I read an article in the journal Science a few months ago which said that measurements of the underlying sediments revealed that some of the sediments were covered with ice for the past 12,000 years, making the break up of this ice sheet very unusual.
