George Divoky talks about how he became interested in Arctic ice and about his trips to study Arctic ice, ecosystems, and species every year since 1975. He explains how climate change has affected the summer pack ice, decreasing ice volume at an increasing rate and impacting Arctic ecosystems and species.

Divoky has studied Arctic ecosystems in Alaska since 1970 when, as a researcher for the Smithsonian Institution, he participated in the Coast Guard's survey of the Arctic Ocean adjacent to Prudhoe Bay. Since 1975, he has lived for three months alone every summer on remote Cooper Island, at the edge of the Arctic pack ice, where his observations of Black Guillemots (a bird species) provide one of the best examples of a biological response to the reality of global warming in the Arctic.
