New satellite images from NASA show that Canada's St. Patrick Bay ice caps have completely disappeared.<br />Researcher Mark Serreze said; "I can't say I was terribly surprised because we knew they were going, but it has happened really fast".<br />In 2017 Serreze estimated the ice caps would be gone within five years.<br />The dwindling ice caps were located on the Hazen Plateau of northeastern Ellesmere Island in Nunavut.<br />Data that goes back to1959 suggests the area of the larger cap was 3 square miles and the smaller one 1.1 square miles.
