A Canadian team of scientists have had to cancel their planned study on the effects of climate change on Arctic marine and coastal ecosystems because ongoing climate change in the area had made their trip extremely dangerous, reports University of Manitoba Today News.

据曼尼托巴大学《今日新闻》报道，一个加拿大科学考察队原本计划去北冰洋考察气候变化对该地区海洋及其沿岸生态系统的影响，但由于北冰洋地区气候的持续变化使考察之旅变得十分危险，所以不得不取消计划。

Due to the warming temperatures in the Arctic, large chunks of hazardous sea ice have broken free from ice shelves and been put into motion, which at best would cause the research team to miss their expedition's time window by six days and at worst could damage their vessel and potentially put their lives at risk.

北冰洋气温升高，导致很多体积巨大的冰块从冰架上崩解，在海洋上移动的浮冰非常危险，最小的影响也会使考察队错过6天抢抓有利作业的时间窗口，最坏的情况是考察船受到损坏，考察人员生命受到威胁。
