– plastic in the Arctic

Plastic lumps find their way to Arctic ice floes Researchers have discovered several pieces of plastic on the floating ice floes in the Arctic, some 1,600 km from the North Pole. The area has been inaccessible, as it used to be covered by ice all year round, but now, scientists can get to the very northern polar oceans, which, unfortunately, also have problems with plastic waste.
