The Arctic sea ice is a powerful image of Earth’s polar regions. Krupnik et al. (2010) write that frozen saltwater that hardens on the surface of the sea is a crucial component of the global system and life in the polar regions. The description of its nature by scientists and indigenous observers brings this vision of the ice even closer to the heart: ‘it can be stiff and silent but also blasting and crushing with terrible noise, and can advance and retreat as a living being’ (ibid., p. 2). Today, Arctic sea ice is not only a significant element in scientific discourse and local knowledge, but a key constituent of global climatic and social change.
