Arctic Ocean Island - 北冰洋岛屿

Arctic ocean islandsRefers to the surroundingEarthIslands around the North Pole, andAntarcticaTogether they form the frigid zone of the earth. The Arctic Ocean islands include the entire Arctic Ocean andGreenlandDenmarkterritory),CanadaAmericaAlaskaRussiaNorwaySwedenFinlandwithIcelandParts of eight countries.

Arctic regionIt is mainly composed of an ocean covered by a vast ice sheet (the Arctic Ocean) and a circle of tree-free tundra surrounding it. Under the influence of global warming, the thickness of the ice sheet in the Arctic has been declining in recent years. Some evidence suggests that by 2040 or 2100 at the latest, the Arctic will no longer be covered by ice during the summer. The latest research shows that the melting rate of the ice in the summer of 2007 was higher than estimated, so there may be ice-free conditions as early as 2013, or even faster.

Organisms in the Arctic include ice microorganisms, fish and marine mammals, terrestrial animals, and humans. This area has a very unique ecosystem. The indigenous people living here and their culture are all adapted to the low temperature and extreme living environment here.

Although they are located on or near the "Great Circle" route taken by flights between Europe and North America, the Arctic islands are often considered "fly-over" areas because passenger aircraft have less ability to gain coverage without refueling. Due to their historical connection with Europe, they are easier to reach than from Canada or the United States
