Arctic Ocean Waves: Scientists Shocked Seeing 16-Foot-Waves On Once Ice-Filled Arctic, Welcome To An Ice-Free Summer And More Global Warming
Arctic Ocean waves measuring up to 16 feet in the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska have shocked scientists, since last they saw the area; it was still completely covered in ice. This is the first time that such massive Arctic Ocean waves have been recorded in Arctic waters. Oceanographers suspect the Arctic Ocean waves to speed the breakup of the region's remaining ice, hence hastening a potential ice-free summer in the Arctic.
