Arctic Climate Change: The effects of climate change are visible all over the world. Temperatures are being recorded at record levels in many places, while the ice of the Arctic is also melting.
Arctic’s Last Ice Area Melt – Symbolic Image
Last Ice Area in Arctic Shows Earlier Than Expected Melt: A part of the Arctic is known as the ‘Last Ice Area’ because the surface of the ocean ice that flows there is usually very thick, which is likely to withstand decades of global warming (Area of Last Ice Age) . But last summer, scientists were surprised when a sudden melting of ice created such an area that even a ship could pass through there.
A strange weather phenomenon may have caused it, but the thinning of the ocean ice sheet due to decades of climate change is an important factor, according to a study published Thursday in the journal ‘Communications Earth and Environment’. The area around the Earth’s North Pole is called the Arctic (Last Ice Area in Arctic Melts). Scientists say that the ice of most of the Arctic may melt by the middle of this century. But the Last Ice Area was not part of this assessment.
astonishing incident
Study co-author Kent Moore of the University of Toronto said that by the summer of around 2100, an area of 1 million square kilometers will not be ice-free. Co-author Mike Steele of the University of Washington said, ‘It is called the Last Ice Area for a reason. We used to think that it was kind of stable. It is quite surprising that in 2010 the ice of this region started melting unusually.
Where will the animals take shelter?
Another co-author of this study, Kristin Leder, said that scientists believe that Greenland and the northern region of Canada may be the last refuge for animals such as polar bears that depend on ice. Moore said that the main reason for the sudden melting of snow was exceptionally strong winds, which caused the snow to melt from this area and started moving to the coast of Greenland.
