Yes you are right it is the arctic ice disappearing not the arctic circle, my mistake sorry. To anyone upset by my mistake NEOWatcher is absolutely correct no change in the size of the arctic circle ( relief).

This article here suggests that at the increased rate of melting the arctic ice may be gone by the year 2030.
