Melting icebergs are dropping rocks onto the Arctic seafloor, and those stones are turning into deep-sea homes for marine life as climate change quietly redraws where life can live
Melting icebergs in the Arctic are delivering rocks to the seafloor. These rocks are becoming new homes for corals and sponges. This discovery shows a complex response to climate change. The Arctic seafloor is changing slowly. This process creates new life in the deep ocean. However, increased icebergs also pose risks to shipping and ecosystems.
