The UK Guardian reports 50 scientists have gathered in Tasmania to discuss more accurate ways to predict Antarctic sea ice levels so researchers don't get stuck in ice pack when traveling southward. "It's quite hard to forecast but whatever effort we put into improving our ability to forecast sea ice will ultimately pay dividends in terms of savings for national programs," Tony Worby, head  of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre, told the Guardian.https://climatechangedispatch.com/wp-content/uploads/images_pics7_antarctica.jpg
