Description

A pathway opens in the land-fast sea ice, forming a question mark in Dijmhna Sund, Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden, in Greenland's remote northeast corner. The Arctic Ocean sea ice continues to decline. As more white ice, which reflects sunlight back into space is lost, the remaining dark water absorbs heat, creating a feedback effect spells bad news for the Arctic, and the global climate.
