The island has a village of Shishmaref located on the regular frozen soil of Chukchi Sea, north of the Bering Strait, 150 km from Russia. The island is about 600 meters wide and 5 km long. According to geophysicist Vladimir Romanovsky, of the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), temperatures in Alaska that have warmed up in at least 30 years have seriously affected the frozen soil on the island.
Under the impact of defrosting, the land on the island becomes vulnerable to floods due to ice melt as well as strong storms that lose soil flaps on the island.
At present, the situation of ice is melting and the waves have fallen on the banks devastated many warehouses, boats, yard and dried fish and when the food reserves on the island become more and more intense. Recently, a house has melted and collapsed, causing 20 people to move deep into the island.
