Scientists Find Arctic Ocean Sea Ice Loaded With Microplastics
At first glance, it looks like hard candy laced with flecks of fake fruit, or a third grader's art project confected from recycled debris. In reality, it's a sliver of Arctic Ocean sea ice riddled with microplastics.

Ice Covering Arctic Ocean Disappearing Faster Than Normal, Say Scientists
Ice covering the Arctic Ocean reached the second-lowest level recorded for this time of year after July temperatures spiked in areas around the North Pole.

In The Deepest Arctic, Sled Dogs, Polar Bears, Famed Seed Vault Face Melting Snow, Ice
Unseasonal winter rain had seeped along the floor of the ice cave, freezing the last incline. That had made slipping to the bottom easy enough, but finding a way out was now a problem. Ten miles outside the northernmost town on the planet, six travelers were trapped at the back of an ice cave.

The Arctic Is 'Behaving So Bizarrely'
Last month, temperatures in the high Arctic spiked dramatically, some 36 degrees Fahrenheit above normal - a move that corresponded with record low levels of Arctic sea ice during a time of year when this ice is supposed to be expanding during the freezing polar night.

Thawing Arctic Ice Reveals New Clues To Mystery Of The Lost Ships Terror And Erebus
Almost two centuries ago, 134 men set sail on two British naval ships to discover the fabled Northwest Passage, a trade route through the Arctic linking Europe to the riches of the East. They never returned. The Inuit, native residents of the North, tell tales of the three-masted ships caught in ice and of men afflicted by scurvy and going hungry, ...

Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...
