The age of Arctic sea ice



A new time-lapse video shows sea ice off the coast of Greenland is melting fast, with just 5% of the original mass remaining.

The oldest and thickest ice has been replaced by thinner ice, which melts more easily.
Researchers say climate change is to blame for continued loss.
Q: If you subtract 95% from something, what’s left?
A: An environmental crisis.
The "something" in question is the oldest and thickest solid layer of frozen water in the Arctic Ocean, which is melting so rapidly that just 5% of its original mass remains.
