Scientists have recently discovered that the ice poles have been melting faster than they thought. In about 10-20 years, the ice levels will become obsolete. The researchers did a 280 mile hike across the tundra and found that the average ice level of thickness was 1.8 meters. Now that will definitely not last through the summer meltdown.
Well all of the land animals will die there for sure, no doubt. But it will open up new water-ways for shipping companies to deliver their products. This could lead to a faster way of water transportation. But on the bad side, the sealevels will go up, therefore engulfing low lands and cities and towns near the coasts.
