The Northwest Passage is a sea route that connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. In the past, the Northwest Passage has been virtually impassable because it was covered by thick, year-round sea ice. However, in recent years, climate change is allowing ...
Northwest Passage and Climate Change Sources The Northwest Passage is a famed sea route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean through a group of sparsely populated Canadian islands known as the Arctic Archipelago. European explorers first began to search for the Northwest Passage in the fif...
The fast melting glacial mass of the Arctic seems to be affecting the native population in more ways than one. In addition, the diplomatic dialogue over the Northwest Passage sea route which, according to certain reports from Climate Change research organisations, could make an ice free trade ...
northwest passageClimate change has reduced the extent and thickness of sea ice in the Arctic, making international shipping in the Northwest Passage a virtual certainty in the foreseeable future. Such future shipping raises the question of whether the Passage is or might become an international ...
Global warming and climate change led to thinning of an ice cover of the Northwest Passage. It will simultaneously open the Passage for increasing periods and make a potentially attractive shipping route. In the year 2007, the European Space Agency confirmed that a rapid ice loss had uncovered ...
Today, the Northwest Passage remains a very challenging area to traverse by ship. Sea ice blocks up the ocean for much of the year and the weather can be unpredictable. However, recent climate change and the melting sea ice in the Arctic have made it easier for ships to traverse the North...
Shipping volumes in the Northwest Passage are likely to increase under climate change due to the distance advantage over traditional routes and the special strategic location of the Arctic. However, the harsh environment and poor channel conditions may pose a considerable risk to ship navigation. To...
“It was this ice that doomed the Franklin Expedition in the 1840s,” Meier said. “They tried to go north of King William, but the ice closed in and crushed their ships. Amundsen, the first to make it through the Northwest Passage in 1903-1906, went south of King William Island, thr...
