Arctic Ice - Melting Away in a Heatwave Havoc
- Warming Temperatures: The Arctic has experienced record temperatures, with a Siberian heatwave pushing air temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time on record.
- Feedback Loops: The loss of reflective sea ice exposes dark open ocean, which absorbs more of the sun’s heat, leading to further ice melt.
- Changes in Ice Growth Patterns: There’s more heat in the ocean now than there used to be, disrupting the pattern of autumn ice growth.
