The Barents Sea Was Seasonally Ice Free For Much Of The Holocene…Today It’s Ice-Covered Year-Round
By Kenneth Richard on 2. December 2024

More evidence has emerged suggesting there is more sea ice in the Arctic today than nearly any time in the last 8000 years.
According to a new study, biomarker evidence suggests the Barents Sea (Arctic) was seasonally “ice free” from ~8000 to ~2100 years ago, or back when the CO2 concentration was said to be about 265 ppm.

Since that warmer Arctic period, the climate cooled and sea ice extent expanded.

For the last 2100 years sea there has been year-round sea ice in this region . Today the minimum sea ice coverage is in August and September, whereas the maximum ice coverage is in March/April.

The modern period (1988-2007) has among the highest sea ice levels of the Holocene, with ~80% coverage in spring (Koseoglu, 2019).

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
