Floating sea ice blankets the ocean surface, and does not contribute to sea level rise. But it is an important part of the climate system because the expansive white ice reflects the sun's heating rays, prevents the oceans beneath it from absorbing more heat, influences ocean circulation, and regulates Earth's climate.
Madison County, Mississippi. Welcome. Thank you for visiting our website. Madison County is one of the fastest growing counties in Mississippi, yet we have sought to remain a small, friendly community full of rich history and looking forward to a bright future.
The population was 3,636 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Morgan County. Most of its nearly 100 Antebellum homes have been carefully restored, which led to Holiday Travel magazine's naming Madison The Prettiest Small Town in America. In 2001, Madison was voted the #1 Small Town in America by Travel Holiday Magazine.
