arctic thaw
The ice that floats on top of the Arctic Ocean typically melts a bit in the spring and builds up again in the winter. When on one hand, polar bears, seals, and walruses make their homes on the ice, on the other; people living in the region rely on the ice pack for fishing and travel. What will happen to them, if this goes on happening? Even last year, a very warm winter followed by a warm summer had resulted in less ice on the ocean than had ever been recorded.
