Sea ice in the Chukchi Sea, northwest of Alaska, is slowly melting and is very close to last year at this point in the season. However, extent remains above the 1991-2020 median for mid-June. Ice has cleared the Bering Strait but Kotzebue Sound remained ice clogged. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Arctic marine heat waves surge since 1980s, with record event lasting 480 days

In recent years, marine heat waves have been taking an ever-greater toll on the world's oceans and their ecosystems. Amplified by increasing global warming, these events are occurring more frequently and lasting longer. The Arctic is not spared from this trend, as it is warming faster than any other region on our planet. However, due to local processes and conditions, marine heat waves in the Arctic differ fundamentally from those in nonpolar oceans. A recent study led by the Alfred Wegener Institute, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, summarizes how these events have developed over recent decades and what science knows about the driving forces behind them.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🧊🌊 #Calving is the term for when large pieces of #ice break off #glaciers in a thunderous, impressive spectacle, creating new #icebergs.

This #video of #Monacobreen, a tidewater glacier in #Svalbard, #Norway, provides a good demonstration of calving and the #waves it can create.

Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz, who died OTD in 1597, led three expeditions to the far north in search of a Northeast passage from Europe to east Asia https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/greenland/?s=mb #travel #Arctic #history

Greenland From The Air

Flying from Europe to North America you often pass over Greenland before crossing to Arctic Canada. Here are some views.

The complete loss of cold years in the Arctic since the 1980s is astounding. The last "blue" stripe was 1992, following the Pinatubo Volcano eruption in the summer of 1991. #ShowYourStripes #Climate #Arctic

🔥 #23: The Midnight Sun
On the June solstice the Arctic sun never sets: in Kiruna it stays up for about 47 days straight.

No surprises here - #Arctic Ocean stripes are off the scale. The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else in the world. #ShowYourStripes

Experimenten om gesmolten Noordpoolijs opnieuw te bevriezen geven hoop voor de toekomst. Re-freezing wordt het genoemd, waarbij zeewater in de winter op het ijs wordt gepompt en daar bevriest om in de zomer een buffer te vormen als het ijs weer smelt.
