A new study details the impact of sharply rising temperatures on Arctic land and sea transportation in the next 50 years, with access to crucial ice roads dropping significantly while three new shipping routes open up in an Arctic Ocean that will be largely ice-free in summer. Geographers at the University of
UCLAArctic shipping routesCalifornia, Los Angeles, said that a projected increase in winter Arctic temperatures of 7 to 11 degrees F by mid-century will mean that the eight countries bordering the Arctic will experience declines in access to winter ice roads of 11 percent to 82 percent.
