| dc.description | The Arctic is a remote and sparsely inhabited area. It is connected to the rest of the world by our climate system, the atmosphere surrounding our Earth and by global ocean currents. Since satellite measurements started 40 years ago, about half of the sea ice area in the Arctic has been lost. The shrinking summer sea ice cover is a visible manifestation of global warming, and affects marine ecosystems, ocean circulation, and potentially weather events further south of the Arctic. | en_US |
