about the alarming increase in the rate of loss of multi-year ice in the Arctic.

 

Key Points:

 

  1. MYI area loss in the Beaufort Sea quadrupled from 46,000 km2yr-1in 1997-2001 to 183,000 km2yr-1in 2017-2021.

 

  1. MYI area loss peaked at 385,000 km2in 2018, which is close to the annual MYI area export through Fram Strait.

 

  1. The Beaufort Sea has become a MYI export pathway rivaling Fram Strait, encouraging the transition to a seasonal Arctic sea ice cover.
