The newest Arctic islands and straits: Origin and distribution, 1997–2021
Abstract The appearance of new Arctic islands and straits as the result of landscape transformation due to tidewater glacier recession under climate warming continues. Analysis of available maps and satellite images has served herein as the main research method. Six new islands, each covering an are...
