Origin and location of new Arctic islands and straits due to glacial recession
A total of 34 new islands (each 0.5 km^{2} or above) have appeared due to recession of Arctic glaciers under climate warming since the 1960s. Analysis of maps and satellite images of the Arctic coasts has been a basic method of recognizing these islands. Their origin is the final stage of a process...
