The arctic sea ice has halved in thickness in the last few decades. 9 to 4.5 feet, I beleive. Inuit say it is melting from the bottom. Warm water moving in from the Bearing sea through the Bering strait and into the arctic ocean. Same from the east. Gulf stream. The open water allows for more currents and more absorbtion of heat in the summer. 24 hours of sunlight during the middle of summer. If one looks at maps of the arctic ocean in summer they will see the sea ice now far off the alaska coast and the chuckchi sea is open. Killer wales, walruses and fish are flooding into the arctic. Spawing salmon have moved hundreds of miles north as have Bearing sea fauna. The north slope's vegetation is growing much larger including trees and this has brought the moose amd grizzlies down to the coast and walruses hauling out on to shore for lack of ice.
