How these connect

Arctic Ocean and what it relates to. Every line is an evidence-backed relation, and the arrangement is fixed — this address draws this picture, today and next year.

Every relation drawn, in words8
  1. Arctic Amplification · located_in · Arctic Ocean

    The effect is defined for the Arctic and has no Antarctic equivalent, because the southern hemisphere has a high ice-covered continent where the north has an ocean.

  2. Arctic Ocean · comparable_to · Antarctica

    One is an ocean basin enclosed by continents, the other a continent enclosed by ocean; the two polar systems are structural inversions of each other rather than variants of one thing.

  3. Arctic Council · assesses · Arctic Ocean

    The Council produces assessments and coordinates working groups but has no regulatory power and its founding declaration excludes military security - it examines the Arctic, it does not govern it.

  4. Arctic Fox (Vulpes lagopus) · located_in · Arctic Ocean

    It is circumpolar on the tundra ringing the basin and on the sea ice itself - a land mammal that commutes onto a frozen ocean, which the southern system makes impossible.

  5. Inuit · located_in · Arctic Ocean

    Inuit occupy the Arctic coasts of Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Chukotka; the northern polar system has a resident population and the southern one has none.

  6. The lowest Arctic sea-ice extent in the satellite record · concerns · Arctic Ocean

    The September 2012 minimum is the lowest Arctic sea-ice extent in the satellite record and the reference point against which subsequent seasons are described.

  7. Polar Bear (Ursus maritimus) · located_in · Arctic Ocean

    Its nineteen recognised subpopulations occupy the sea ice of the Arctic basin and its adjacent seas; the species exists nowhere else and has no southern counterpart.

  8. Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea) · originates_in · Arctic Ocean

    It breeds around the Arctic, and the tracked birds in the 2010 study were fitted with geolocators at Greenland and Iceland colonies.
