"Some data indicate that sea ice has consistently
covered at least part of the Arctic Ocean for the last 13–14 million years, and it has been most
extensive during the most recent approximately 2 m.y. Other data argue against the development
of perennial (year-round) sea ice until the most recent few million years."
