'The Arctic spring thaw has begun with a bang, with extensive melting of the Greenland ice sheet and sea ice loss that is already several weeks ahead of normal, scientists said. '
'That, coupled with cloudless conditions, led to a pulse of melting across much of the ice sheet surface. '
'That represents a record early date for such extensive melting, which has been measured by satellites since 1979. '
'A stagnant zone of high-pressure air over Greenland last week brought warm air from the south, raising temperatures as much as 40 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. '
' In 2012, an exceptionally warm year in the Arctic, there was slightly greater melting a few days later in June . '
