In February, a team in Canada ventured onto melting sea ice, marking the mildest winter in 75 years. The Arctic's sea ice extent is at a record low, impacting climate change projections which predict its seasonal disappearance within 15 years. Real Ice, a U.K. company, aims to counteract this trend by creating artificial ice formations through a bold and potentially perilous method, showcasing both the urgency and ambition to confront Arctic environmental challenges.
Scientists predict that within the next 15 years this ice cap will disappear in summer for the first time in millennia, accelerating global warming.
Real Ice co-founder Cian Sherwin, an Irishman with a red beanie and scraggy goatee, hopped off his snowmobile and started drilling with a long electric auger.
