Opplysninger | The Arctic is thawing. The cryosphere, including ice sheets, valley glaciers, permafrost, and floating ice, experiences a decline of ice mass. Changes in the cryosphere and corresponding variations in sea level point to social and economic challenges on the horizon. The widespread repercussions of ice loss will affect countless people far removed from frozen regions, which is why the big meltdown matters to us all.
