Yeah, and the fairies might come out to dance a minuet at the bottom of the garden when you're not around. Or maybe the ice all fell down the giant hole that leads into the hollow interior of the Earth where the Atlanteans have been hiding out: Secrets of the Hollow Earth - A Look Into the Secrets of the Hollow Earth :-)

But you know what? There were and are people living all around the shores of the Arctic Ocean. If there were severe melts or freezes, they likely would have remembered and passed on the stories. It sure appears as though you're just rejecting fairly solid evidence because you don't want it to be true.
