Scientific predictions that foresaw the first ice-free Arctic Ocean in 
the summertime occurring between 2040 and 2050 may come to pass even 
sooner, according to Vishnu Nandan, Geography Eyes High doctoral 
candidate and lead author of the study, published in the academic 
journal Geophysical Research Letters ...

The consequences of ice-free summers in the Arctic Ocean would be 
enormous. “Such a transition would radically affect global weather 
patterns and dramatically increase the magnitude and frequency of storm 
events,” says Yackel. “It would also dramatically alter the Arctic 
marine ecosystem, with the added sunlight affecting the Arctic Ocean 
food web and melting the very ice bed on which animals like polar bears 
hunt.”
