Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 42% since 1979, when regular satellite monitoring began. As the ice grows thinner and recedes, more water is exposed to sunlight. Ice reflects sunlight but dark water absorbs it, advancing warming and accelerating ice loss. Climate models indicate that the Arctic will see ice-free summers within the coming decades, and scientists still aren't sure what this will mean for life on Earth.

Sea ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean is at one of its lowest levels on record, yet there's no unanimity on when that ice will disappear completely during summer months.

The Arctic’s silent guardians — its fjords — may be losing their strength to fight climate change. New research reveals how melting ice and disrupted ecosystems could alter the planet’s carbon balance forever.

They’re haunting our ruins—and heading into our towns. This isn’t a post-apocalyptic movie, but the real story of polar bears navigating a vanishing Arctic, one abandoned station at a time.
