A hot summer has arrived in the Arctic, the land of glaciers. Glaciers that once seemed like they would never melt are rapidly disappearing, and the land hidden beneath the ice is revealing itself. The Arctic summer is becoming increasingly warmer and longer, and these changes are altering not only the Arctic landscape but also its ecosystem and human life.

Flowers are blooming where glaciers have melted, crops are growing in gardens, and a new abundance is emerging in Greenland, centered around fisheries. However, the changes brought about by the warming Arctic signify no mere abundance.

Shrinking Arctic glaciers and sea ice, rising sea levels, and changing Arctic marine ecosystems and seabed environments. Wetlands created by melting glaciers are causing further environmental changes, and the warming climate is altering the habitats of creatures such as mosquitoes.

So, what impact will the climate change occurring in the Arctic have on the Earth in the future?

The Arctic is often called the "Earth's refrigerator." Because changes in the Arctic are not confined to the Arctic but can be linked to global climate change, scientists and polar researchers around the world are paying close attention to the region.

Summer has arrived in the Svalbard Fjords. In this region, where glaciers occupy a significant portion of the total area, researchers are directly observing melting ice and the changing Arctic environment.

The Korea Polar Research Institute's icebreaker "Araon" collects seawater from the Arctic Ocean and installs mooring equipment to track changes in the ocean and seabed environment. Research continues to analyze traces of the Arctic's past geology and ecosystems, observe current changes, and predict and prepare for future climate change.

From Arctic glaciers and sea ice to the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Svalbard, polar ecosystems, and sea level changes.

Are the changes we are currently witnessing in the Arctic truly signals the future of the Earth?

Scientists studying the Arctic to predict the future of humanity.

We follow the scenes of global warming and climate change to examine the changing face of the Arctic.

Changes in the Arctic are changes in the Earth.

Will we be able to protect the Arctic winter and ice once again? 👉This video is an excerpt from [Special Feature, Arctic - Part 1. Summer in the Land of Glaciers / Part 2. People Finding a Way], broadcast in December 2017.
