Arctic Summers Could Be Ice-Free by Next Decade
-----------------------------------------------

A new study published this week by Nature Communications finds the
Arctic is expected to be ice-free during the summer months starting as

which the world is not currently on track to achieve - scientists say
the loss of Arctic sea ice in the summer is now inevitable in the next
few decades.
