Due to heating of the waters, scientists believe that ice caps are melting, The main cause: Climate change.

The temperature of water increases once land temperature increases. Therefore icecaps and glaciers break and melt causing the ocean to rise. This will lead to higher sea temperatures, which may in time, force people out of their homes and cause flooding on coastal lands. The artic ice will also be destroyed over time, including its animals and mamals.
