Abstract

Global warming has become familiar to many people as one of the most important environmental issues of our time. This review will describe the effects of global warming on the glacial melt at the North Pole. On the land, glaciers are melting and retreating in places like Antarctica, Greenland, and Alaska. At sea, the area of floating ice, which we call sea-ice Floating ice is formed by the freezing of the sea surface. Is becoming smaller each year. The cold region (north polar) is home to a variety of creatures, which, with the melting of natural glaciers, are under threat. Therefore, these are the clearest threats of the current climate change effects of global warming on the glacial melts in the North Polar, which have effects on mercury (Hg), marine systems, sea level rise, public health, and economies.

Keywords
