An increased amount of thick sea ice flowing south from the Arctic Ocean shortened the ice-free shipping season in several parts of the Northwest Passage between 2007 and 2021, according to an analysis in @CommsEarth. Alison Cook and colleagues suggest this could mean

Thick sea ice is flowing into the Northwest Passage, making Arctic shipping more difficult and complicating predictions that melting ice due to climate change will open a shorter route between oceans. https://t.co/c1edZxOpU2

The changing ice conditions have sparked a warning from scientists.
