’Last Ice Area’ in the Arctic could disappear much sooner than previously thought
Research findings highlight potential impacts on biodiversity, challenge current conservation policies The Arctic's "Last Ice Area" (LIA) - a vital habitat for ice-dependent species - might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to occur sometime around mid-century, a new study by McGill researchers using a high-resolution model has found.
