It's a sad irony. In attempting to secure "rights" to Arctic fisheries, new transport routes, oil, gas and mineral resources, countries gain a vested interest in the continued melting of the Arctic.

Besides,there is another problem concerning the melting of ice.The water of the iceburgs is mixed with the salt water of the sea,and alters it's substances.Small organisms(plankton) can't stand the change and die...So all the other creatures that depend on them will die along with them...
