In 2007, marine research organization InMER flew over the Arctic Circle's summer sea ice when it was at its lowest level in recorded history. The future of the Northwest Passage, both ecologically and commercially, is at stake and provides a warning for the future of the rest of the planet as well. Produced by RTSea Productions for InMER.org and Google Earth's new ocean layer. To learn more about changes in the Arctic, visit http://www.inmer.org and Google Earth's new ocean layer.

  • This is something you can do to reduce your heating bills, paint you roof white to reflect solar radiation and reduce heat from the sun.

  • When I was in Alaska I spoke with native Inupiaks who described to me the visible melting they have been noticing over the past 10 years and its influence on the health of the animals seen there every year.
