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.
Named for the fourth president of the United States, James Madison, the 23rd county in Mississippi was created in 1828 from portions of Yazoo and Hinds counties. This area attracted a large number of settlers from Virginia and the Carolinas who came to farm the lush, rolling hills and fertile soil.
