Once called the Frozen Ocean, the Arctic Ocean is covered with ice (2-14 ft/.6-4 m thick) throughout the year in most of its central and western portions. Since the 1980s, however, the extent of the summer ice has been significantly reduced, and most researchers expect that, due to global warming, the ocean will become ice-free during the summer sometime between 2030 and 2070.
