BTW, I've been doing some reading on sea ice breakup mechanisms -- some of which are well understood, some of which are partially understood -- and one of the things that's becoming clear is that cracking seems to have far more of an accelerative effect than previously thought. In 2001, the IPCC said that major ice retreat would probably not occur before 2100. In 2007, some of the folks at NOAA said that by 2050, summer ice would be gone. And in 2008, an NSDIC report stated that sumer ice could be gone by 2030: Arctic amplification (which wasn't expected to kick in for another decade) has pushed the melt cycle past the tipping point.
This part is something I experimented with for seven years. It shouldn't come as any surprise that darkening bright white ice accelerates melting, and there's nothing like cracks and resultant seepage to do the trick.
