NASA has on its website a series of more than 500 photos satellite captures that show how climate change is changing and impacting our planet.Area covered by ice in the Arctic Ocean in 1984 (left) and in 2012 (NASA).
The ice-covered area of ​​the Arctic Ocean increases during the winter and retreats during the summer, usually reaching its lowest point of the year in September, reported RT.
The amount of ice has arrived under its history in 2012, since at least 1979, when the first reliable satellite measurements began, according to NASA.
The 2016 low was the second lowest on record. “At the rate we’re seeing this decline, it’s likely that the Arctic summer sea ice will will disappear completely in this century”said Joey Comiso, NASA scientist and reproduced RT.
