Global warming, which floating ice become an obstacle to navigation, aborted expedition to the Arctic, which was planned to study the effects of global warming.
In the first phase, scheduled for 2017 expedition icebreaker had to reach the Strait of Belle Isle in Eastern Canada, but now it will not take place due to adverse ice conditions.
It is noted that the warming in the Arctic has caused thinning of the ice cover and made the ice more mobile, said David Barber, scientific Director of the expedition. According to him creeping ice will complicate not only research, but also raises questions in terms of the safety of the expedition.
“We are conducting a large-scale study of climate change, but it is conceived to thwart the study,” joked the scientist.
Four-year study costing $17 million is intended to assess the impact of global warming on marine and terrestrial ecosystems of the Arctic. It is attended by 40 scientists from five canadian universities.
