  • SHARI, JAPAN – FEBRUARY 24: People pose for a photograph on drift ice covering the Sea of Okhotsk on February 24, 2022 in Shari, Japan. The temperature of the Sea of Okhotsk is believed to have increased by around two degrees over the last fifty years reducing the amount of drift ice by thirty percent in roughly the same period. The ice forms in Russias Amur River in mid-winter then drifts down through the Sea of Okhotsk to reach Hokkaido before disappearing again usually in March. The drift ice brings with it nutrients including plankton which boost fish stocks in the area. As the ice decreases it is expected that sea-life will be affected too.
