Sea ice

A new study has pointed out that the Arctic sea ice is melting at an alarming rate. It highlights the increasing decline of the Arctic sea ice due to climate change.

While the Arctic Ocean is largely a carbon sink, researchers find parts are also a source of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

I'm lucky enough to live in Oulu, Finland, a place where I'm able to enjoy what for many is a very exotic sight: the melting sea ice.

Uummannaq, Greenland - winter 2022: beautiful Arctic polar light colours the icy blue frozen ocean, fragile sea ice sheet & glacier iceberg landscapes: reminders that this region already experiences 2-4x the effects of climate change as global warming impacts this vulnerable, melting environment.

Arctic sea ice is not merely a passive responder to the climate changes occurring around the world, according to new research.

The Arctic is warming at a rate twice as fast as the rest of the globe, and now the region's thickest and oldest sea ice—also known as "the last ice area"—is breaking up for the first time on record. The breakage has opened up waters north of Greenland that are normally frozen-solid even in the peak of summer.

Arctic sea ice could set a new record low extent this summer, say scientists at this year’s European Geosciences Union (EGU) conference in Vienna.

Paradise Bay was one of the last stops on the G Adventures tour I took to Antarctica in January. It was absolutely the best location we had for viewing sea ice. I feel the need to note that the blue colors you see in many of the images was not manipulated. The blues were literally that deep in color.
