Retreating Arctic sea ice has reopened the Northern Sea Route through the Arctic Ocean for the 2022 season.

This date is similar to 2021, but much later than the 2020 record.

As a reminder, prior to 2005, most years never had a full open water passage through the Arctic. pic.twitter.com/NgpnhQAPrS
