1. Sea ice in the Artic Ocean is the 2nd lowest in about 30 years.

2. Scientists beleive that global warming is real.

3. ice serves as a habitat for polar bears.

4. Arctic ice melts in the summer and refrezes in the winter.

The National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that sea ice in the Arctic now covers about 2.03 million square miles.

With about three weeks left in the Arctic summer, this year could wind up breaking that previous record, scientists said.

Sea ice also serves as primary habitat for threatened polar bears.

The Chukchi Sea is home to one of two populations of Alaska polar bears.

The melt in sea ice has kicked in another effect, long predicted, called “Arctic amplification,” Serreze said.

1. Ice in the Arctic Ocean is at its 2nd lowest level in 30 years.
2. Two populations of Alaska polar bears lives in Chukchi Sea.
3. Within 5- 10 years the Arctic could be free of sea ice in the summer
4. This article is explaining how Artic sea ice is droping very low
5. On that day the polar ice edge was an amazing 400 miles away.
6. The most recent ice retreat primarily reflects melt in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska’s northwest coast and the East Siberian Sea off the coast of eastern Russia, according to the center.

1. Scientists say the global warming is getting worse.
2. The Arctic covers 2.03 square miles.
3. The lowest it has ever covered is 1.65 square miles.
4. The arctic is has always froze in the winter and melted in the summer.
5. The ice reflectes the sun light making it go into the sea wich is melting the ice itself.

1 Scientists beleive that global warming is real
2 5 to ten years so the ocean can be saved
3 The ice covers 200 square mi across
4 The polar bears are now endangered because of lack of ice
5 The last few years the arctic has gotten back some ice
