Some information about the Arctic
• Located in the northernmost part of the Earth
• Largely frozen by the Northern Ice Ocean
• Arctic is still a place of ice and snow
• A lot of animal species - polar bears, seals, walruses, birds, and also humans

• Total area is more than 21 million square kilometers
• Extreme climatic conditions
ARCTIC IN DANGER
Oil extraction
Impact of a floating floe to the oil platform
Oil spill into the ocean
Contaminate the water
Extinction or endanger the health of many animals
Cairn Energy began in 2010 with exploration wells west of
the Greenland coast
Consequences of the oil accident
Terej covered with oil Poisonous oil on hands
ARCTIC IN DANGER
Climate change
Warming much faster than the rest of the world
One of the most dramatic climatic changes
Since 1980: the area of the ocean has fallen by almost one third
Ice is getting thinner
Around 2030 in summer: the Arctic Ocean will be completely free of ice
Others even show: the next few years

ARCTIC IN DANGER
Ice
melting Middle of the century: the frozen area began to decrease in the summer months
Since 1975: the maximum area has been reduced
Increase in global temperature
Melting in the Arctic has serious consequences for our entire planet
Danger of extinction of unique species of animals
Emaciated polar bear
ARCTIC IN DANGER
Industrial fishing
Fishing fish remove the primary source of food
Survival depends directly or indirectly on fish
Loss of food for all
Fishing boat Catching fish
ARCTIC IN DANGER
Transport
Shipping companies are considering the possibility of shipping the Northwest North Sea
No way to eliminate the consequences
Cargo ship in port
ARCTIC IN DANGER
Another danger
Water and air pollution
Increased levels of ultraviolet radiation
Unable to adapt and collapse the changed conditions
Global warming and global pollution
ARCTIC IN DANGER
These issues are solving by an independent global campaigning organisation Greenpeace.
