A new study utilizing chemical analysis of ocean sediments and advanced climate models reveals that the Arctic Ocean has experienced seasonal sea ice for at least 750,000 years, challenging the long-held hypothesis of a continuous, kilometer-thick ice shelf during ice ages. This finding underscores the Arctic’s role as a dynamic ecosystem and provides valuable insights into past climate patterns and future climate change scenarios.
