A polar bear wanders across pack ice along the floe edge in the Arctic near Navy Board Inlet, Canada. The decline of sea ice is having an incredibly adverse impact on these animals.

As a result of anthropogenic climate change, it is predicted that - within the next several years - the North Pole will be free of ice in the summer, meaning that ships will be able to pass over the pole for the first time in recorded history.
While such a trend may prove beneficial for shipping costs, such climate change threatens all of us. With each square mile of ice lost, more and more of the sun's energy becomes trapped in the atmosphere, expediting further climate change in the future.
