Das Eis, das Alaska schützt, verschwindet schneller als erwartet

Stable sea ice along Alaska’s coast is disappearing faster than expected, with the season shrinking by weeks and even months in recent decades. The ice is forming later in the fall and, in some places, breaking away earlier in spring. This trend is now hitting areas like the Beaufort Sea that were once relatively stable. For local communities, it means more dangerous travel, uncertain hunting conditions, and greater exposure to coastal erosion.
