The amount of sea ice covering the Arctic dramatically increased last month, reaching levels not seen at this time of year for nearly a decade. <\/p>\n

Returning ice – after years of declining cover – has astonished climate scientists who blamed unusually cold weather over the Bering Sea. <\/p>\n

Researchers said they recorded the most ice in March since 2001 – and that the cover is approaching long-term average levels for the first time in ten years. <\/p>\n

The scientists who released the data stressed that last month’s rise was part of yearly variations in ice cover and could not be taken as a sign that global warming is coming to an end. <\/p>\n

But sceptics argued that the findings undermined ‘alarmist’ claims that the North Pole could be free of summer ice by 2013. <\/p>\n

The unusual trend last month is revealed in figures published by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado. <\/p>\n

In a typical year, Arctic ice cover peaks in mid-March and starts to fall as milder weather arrives.
