A Fragile Fix: Arctic Ice Thickening Experiment Yields Promising Results A recent experiment conducted in Cambridge Bay, Canada, has shown promise for thickening Arctic sea ice using seawater.
This method involves pumping seawater onto existing ice and letting it freeze into a new layer, an approach being considered as an alternative to more contentious geoengineering methods like stratospheric aerosol injection.
The simplicity of this technique is both its strength and weakness.
