Arctic Sea Ice refers to the frozen ocean water that covers parts of the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas. It plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight and maintaining cooler temperatures. The extent and thickness of this ice vary seasonally, typically reaching its maximum in March and minimum in September. The melting of Arctic Sea Ice is a significant indicator of climate change. As global temperatures rise, the ice is diminishing at an alarming rate, impacting wildlife, such as polar bears and seals, and affecting global weather patterns. The loss of this ice also contributes to rising sea levels.
