Recently, the Northwest Sea route running through the extreme North Sea of ​​Canada and Russia became more smooth. Since 2002, the level of melting in the Arctic has increased rapidly. At present, the Arctic ice area is narrowed to 4.4 million km 2 , down 900,000 km 2 compared to September 2005 and 3.3 million km 2 lower than the period 1979-2000. Thus, compared to 30 years ago, the Arctic ice area has decreased by 1/3.

American scientists who study the Arctic predict that by 2030, there will be a possibility that the Arctic will no longer have snow and ice, with the main reason being that humans are warming the earth's climate, changing into atmospheric part and ocean circulation. This phenomenon has directly affected the living and flora in the area.

Some countries adjacent to the Arctic are seeking ways to claim territorial sovereignty to exploit oil and gas fields located on the seabed in this area.
