Beginning of the end
After several thousand of years with thick ice, scientist first see the initial ice decline in 1979. The U.S National Snow and Ice Data Center assessed this decline and found it to be just about 11%.

Arctic Before The Melt Down
As shown in this image, the ice is still thick with multiple layers of ice. This will allow proper environment for arctic life. -

Video: Time Lapse of Arctic Sea Ice Melting
link text
NASA uploads a satellite video that shows the rapid melting of the Arctic's Sea Ice. Which is caused by man-made climate change thus endangering us and the Arctic's animals and their habitats/ food sources. -

The Hudson Bay Polar Bears
The Hudson Bay polar bears has declined by 30 per cent. From an estimated 1,200 animals in 1987 to just 842 in 2016. The production of litters declined by 39.7 per cent from 2001 to 2004 and from 2017 to 2019.

This is a short little quiz about various animals in the arctic. It is 10 question's long and gives cute facts after each answer! -
Patterns of the Ice Decline
A pattern of deep Arctic sea ice decline began in 2002. The AO likely triggered a phase of accelerated melt that continued into the next decade because of unusually warm Arctic air temperatures.

Videos: Ice loss link to virus spreading and killing seals
link text
In this video, it explains that as the ice melts a virus is released and allows pathogens to spread and come into contact with these animals -
Lowest Record
The record low was in September 2012, when the Arctic's sea ice plummeted to 3.41 million square kilometers (1.32 million square miles).

CO2 Emissions
As the Arctic's ice continues to melt, it releases trapped CO2 as it goes through this process. It is stated "he observed linear relationship implies a sustained loss of 3 ± 0.3 square meters of September sea-ice area per metric ton of CO2 emission. On the basis of this sensitivity, Arctic sea ice will be lost throughout September for an additional 1000 gigatons of CO2 emissions." link text -

Arctic After The Melt Down
In this devastating image, it shows a mother polar bear standing on a small glacier, as her cubs stand in to water surrounding that glacier. -
