🧊 As the ice continues to melt in the Arctic, c 🧊 As the ice continues to melt in the Arctic, changing landscapes are a clear sign of global warming. But for scientists, the new natural formations paint an image of what a post-ice age world might have looked like. 🥶What happens in places that have been frozen for millennia — and are only now waking up? The research team from @klaipedauniversity Marine Research Institute is on the ground in the European Arctic every year. Equipped with sonar devices, sensors, and inflatable boats, they’re mapping a new lagoon that may shape the future of Arctic biodiversity. Could these newborn ecosystems offer an example of resilience under pressure?
