Why are more ships coming - Huuk uumiat amiigiatun kialikan?

In Arctic Canada decreasing sea ice extent and thickness has facilitated an increase in navigable shipping routes. Sea ice retreat has been primarily concentrated in the Beaufort Sea but is also evident across the entire Canadian Arctic. During the 2010 summer season weekly sea ice concentration was between 20 and 35% lower than it is normally and the open water season was considerably longer than it has been in the past. As a result, it is more accessible for cruise ships to travel in the Arctic and the season for save travel is getting longer.
