2. Arctic ice pack - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_ice_pack

   The Arctic ice pack is the sea ice cover of the Arctic Ocean and its vicinity. The Arctic ice pack undergoes a regular seasonal cycle in which ice melts in spring and summer, reaches a minimum around mid-September, then increases during fall and winter. Summer ice cover in the Arctic is about 50% of winter cover. [1]

3. Drift ice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_ice

   The two major ice packs are the Arctic ice pack and the Antarctic ice pack. The most important areas of pack ice are the polar ice packs formed from seawater in the Earth's polar regions: the Arctic ice pack of the Arctic Ocean and the Antarctic ice pack of the Southern Ocean. Polar packs significantly change their size during seasonal changes ...

   The Arctic has already lost about half of its sea ice, compared to the 1980s at the end of the summer. It is known that more warming has delayed ice formation, and resulted in thinner sea ice growth.

5. Arctic sea ice ecology and history - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_sea_ice_ecology_and...

   The Arctic sea ice covers less area in the summer than in the winter. The multi-year (i.e. perennial) sea ice covers nearly all of the central deep basins. The Arctic sea ice and its related biota are unique, and the year-round persistence of the ice has allowed the development of ice endemic species, meaning species not found anywhere else.

6. Sea ice - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_ice

   [1] [2] [3] Much of the world's sea ice is enclosed within the polar ice packs in the Earth's polar regions: the Arctic ice pack of the Arctic Ocean and the Antarctic ice pack of the Southern Ocean. Polar packs undergo a significant yearly cycling in surface extent, a natural process upon which depends the Arctic ecology , including the ocean's ...

7. Arctic sea ice decline - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_sea_ice_decline

   The Arctic Ocean is the mass of water positioned approximately above latitude 65° N. Arctic Sea Ice refers to the area of the Arctic Ocean covered by ice. The Arctic sea ice minimum is the day in a given year when Arctic sea ice reaches its smallest extent, occurring at the end of the summer melting season, normally during September.

   A blast of Arctic air will bring punishing cold winds and bands of heavy lake-effect snow that will bury some towns in fresh feet of snow into Friday, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. However, the ...

9. Sympagic ecology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympagic_ecology

   In the Arctic Ocean, ice algae accounts for close to half of the primary production during the summer months. [1] In the spring, krill can scrape off the green lawn of ice algae from the underside of the pack ice.
