Arctic Sea Ice
Various Arctic sea ice in 2011. Pieces of sea ice called floes, gathered together by the wind and the ocean currents cluster together on the edge of the Arctic sea ice area. The northern part of the Fram Strait is often full of ice like this as the joint wind and current forces ice into the area.

Arctic Sunrise Expedition to Svalbard
Leading independent ice scientists from the University of Cambridge joined the Greenpeace ice breaker Arctic Sunrise on an expedition to test Arctic
sea ice thickness, in a year that could mark the lowest sea ice minimum on record. Temperature rise in the Arctic is among the fastest on Earth due to emissions of carbon dioxide from oil, coal and gas. As climate change causes the Arctic’s sea ice cover to recede, the ice’s cooling effect caused by its reflecting solar radiation back into space is reduced, causing temperatures to rise even faster.
