The disappearance of an Arctic island: how global warming is changing the map of the world

 • 7213 переглядiв

An island has disappeared in the Arctic due to climate change. This was reported by Reuters, according to UNN .

Details

According to the information, this island was formed in the 90s of the last century as a separate section from Cape Misiatsev on the large island of Eva-Liv. Until 2015, its area was 53 hectares, but by August 2024, the island had shrunk to three hectares, and in September it disappeared from satellite images.

Scientists attribute this process to the effects of climate change, which has led to active glacial melting, sea level rise, and coastal erosion. Ice melting in the region, driven by rising temperatures, has accelerated significantly in recent decades, threatening similar losses for other Arctic islands.
