NASA | Arctic Sea Ice 101

The video discusses the Arctic ice cap, its reflective properties, and the impact of its melting on global climate. It highlights the dynamic nature of the ice, the recent trends in ice melting, and the importance of ice thickness. The video also covers the implications for Arctic communities and the role of NASA in studying these changes. Finally, it addresses the potential global climate changes due to Arctic ice loss, including possible droughts in North America.

In what ways do scientists study Arctic sea ice, and why is satellite data important?

What potential impacts could the loss of the Arctic ice cap have on weather patterns in North America?
