Arctic Ice Loss
The area covered by sea ice in the Arctic Ocean has been shrinking. For many
decades, more sea ice has melted away during summers than has reformed
during winters. Projections show that the ocean around the North Pole could be
ice-free during summers as early as the year 2030! How might the melting
of this sea ice — an area larger than the country of India — affect the rest of
the world?
The ice sheet on Greenland is also shrinking. Over the past 30 years, the total
area of the Greenland ice sheet affected by summer melting has grown. What
effect might the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet have on the rest of the world?
