A polar bear swimming in the Arctic, by Paul Nicklen.

The vanishing Arctic sea ice also affects the atmosphere.

Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis (or the southern lights), has features that are almost identical to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the northern auroral zone.

A polar bear can swim up to 500 kilometers.

Some companies even seem to celebrate the melting of the polar ice cap, because it will reduce the cost of extracting the oil that lies beneath the Arctic Ocean.

Early evidence for a geomagnetic connection comes from the statistics of auroral observations.

All these islands lie in the cold seas below the Antarctic convergence.

A polar bear wouldn't hesitate to attack a huge walrus if it were hungry.

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 a mediterranean sea or an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean.

Yahweh spoke to the fish, and it vomited out Jonah on the dry land.

And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

The pygmy blue whale ( Balaenoptera musculus brevicauda ) is a subspecies of the blue whale ( Balaenoptera musculus ) found in the Indian Ocean and the southern Pacific Ocean.

In 1948, the underwater Lomonosov Ridge in the Arctic Ocean was named in his honor.

Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish's belly.

Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,

Projections are that we could lose polar bears they could become extinct in the next 50 to 100 years.

Today, a far greater Arctic tragedy is unfolding the Arctic sea ice cap is melting.

For instance, as the Arctic ice cap melts, less sunlight is reflected.

And you'll see that it leads with a shifting star field, and there's an Aurora Borealis in the background, kind of morphing with color. The color of the Aurora Borealis can be controlled using this single bar of color at the bottom, and we'll put it down here to red.

Another part is that the so called Arctic Oscillation of wind patterns over the Arctic Ocean is now in a state that it does not allow build up of old ice, but immediately flushes most ice into the North Atlantic.

Had he not been one of those who struggled hard ,

He would have stayed in its belly till the day the dead are raised .

And were he not one of those who praise .

He would have remained in its belly till the day when all will be raised .

Now had he not been of those that glorify God ,

he would have tarried in its belly until the day they shall be raised

And had he not been of those who hallow Him ,

He would have tarried in the belly thereof till the Day when they are raised .

Had he not been of them who glorify Allah ,

He would have indeed remained inside its belly ( the fish ) till the Day of Resurrection .

Had he not been one of those who praised .

He would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are raised .

Had he not been one of those who glorify Allah ,

he would certainly have remained in its belly till the Day of Resurrection .

And had he not been one of those who glorify ( Allah )

He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised

Had he not been one of those who celebrate Allah s glory ,

he would have surely remained in its belly till the day they will be resurrected .

and had he not been among those who exalt ( Allah ) ,

he would have lingered in its belly till the Day they are resurrected .

And had he not been of those who exalt Allah ,

He would have remained inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected .

Had he not glorified God ,

he would certainly have remained inside the fish until the Day of Resurrection .
