Algae provoke the melting of the Arctic ice.
Experts believe that red algae influence the processes of melting Arctic ice.
The results of the study prove the point of view of scientists was published in Nature Communications.
In the past the scientific community was aware of the facts of the abundant melting of Arctic sea ice under the influence of sunlight, which attracted a red algae that has accumulated on the icy or snow-covered land in the Arctic. But now the experts say that the ability of crystallized water particles on the earth’s surface to reflect solar rays, which in this case is reduced by 13%, which is a serious indicator.
Scientists say that the first time they were able to demonstrate the effect of red algae on the dimming light of glacier surfaces.
