First experiment to thicken Arctic ice with seawater shows promise — but there’s a big catch
Scientists tried to thicken Arctic ice by pumping seawater onto it. The ice did become thicker and brighter, but there is a big catch

From the article
Scientists tested spraying seawater onto Arctic ice, which showed promising initial results. The treated ice became thicker and more reflective, resisting summer melting effectively. This method offers an alternative to controversial geoengineering approaches for ice preservation. While promising, researchers note significant challenges for large-scale implementation across the Arctic. Further work is essential before this technique can be considered for broader application.
