In the Arctic‚ shrinking sea ice is disappearing at a rate of 11% per decade‚ which has depleted polar bear habitats and shortened their winter hunting season‚ resulting in malnutrition and population decline(Dvorak).

The red outline in the picture to the left shows how large the Polar Ice Cap was in 1979. The white are in the picture is how big the Polar Ice Cap currently is‚ that’s a significant decrease over just thirty five years. The thinner the ice gets the faster it melts.
