The Arctic Ocean is expected to be ice-free by 2027.
Arctic sea ice is disappearing at an unprecedented rate, decreasing by over 12% per decade. This indicates that the world is rapidly approaching the day when nearly all of the ice may temporarily vanish. According to a recent study published in Nature Communications, the first day without ice in the Arctic could occur as early as 2027.

In a new study, scientists utilized 11 climate models and conducted 366 simulations, revealing that several warm seasons will lead to ice melting by 2027. Even under moderate conditions, researchers anticipate that the Arctic will be completely ice-free in the 2030s.
