There’s always a silver lining to every dark cloud and the melting of the polar ice may be bad news for the environment, but it has opened a pathway for the Trans-Artic Internet cable.
Undersea surveying will begin in the next few months, using side-scan sonar, digital cameras, electromagnetic probes, and core samples to plot a route across the sea floor. In the past, such a surveying trip wouldn't have been feasible due to year-round ice.
