Arctic Ocean sea ice (IMAGE)
Caption
By analysing ancient ocean seafloor sediments and running detailed climate simulations, the research team found no evidence for the presence of a thick ice shelf. Instead, this study paints a picture of an Arctic that despite being cold and icy, still had open water areas that allowed for biological activity and ocean circulation. Photo: Morven Muilwijk.
