After the Laptev Sea, located on the northern coast of Siberia, witnessed records last season, as it remained ice-free until the beginning of last November for the first time in history, the same sea comes again to break records in the speed of ice melting, as the whole region of Siberia, especially regions Coastal heat waves and temperatures exceeding the normal range by more than 25 degrees Celsius.
