Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.

In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
In the Arctic, the water cycle is similar to other regions but with some unique features due to the extreme cold temperatures. Water from the Arctic Ocean evaporates, forming sea ice and snow. Melting sea ice and snow contribute to freshwater sources in the region, while precipitation can fall as snow or rain. The frozen nature of the Arctic means that water storage in ice caps and glaciers is significant in this region.

Yes the arctic ice caps are melting and the level of the worlds oceans is slowly rising.

Yes, the ice in the Arctic is melting at an alarming rate due to climate change.
Yes, sea ice in the Antarctic and especially in the Arctic is melting, more and more each summer. In the Arctic this is causing serious problems for polar bears who rely on sea ice during a long winter to catch their prey, seals, and build up enough fat in themselves and their pups to survive the summer.
