You know how newly fallen snow is, well, snow-white in color?
Then, later on you are driving down the road, and the piled up snow/ice is a dirty white-brown?

Well, that's the color of the ice in the Arctic. Dirty brownish-white. Check it out: http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/latest/noaa1.jpg

This color makes the ice and snow much more vulnerable to melting by the sunlight, of course.
I must wonder where all the contamination came from, to cover the snow and ice up there in such soot?
