Woodgate, from the Polar Science Center at the University of Washington, facing a lot of work in a short time, to accurately show the location of eight underwater data collection instruments in the U.S. and Russia in the straits. He was electronically lifted the instrument to the surface and sink a new tool that will moored there for a year.

It is work to be done quickly in order to read the data useful for him and his partner in a joint expedition to Russia, the U.S. estimate of climate change impacts in the far north-peraitran between the former enemies of the Cold War era.

As someone who was melihatkan activities and were too close for deployment in small choppy waters off the coast of Siberia, the British-born scientist was hastily handed a packet of a piece of iron teeth and said, "This is - do something with this."

Anchor tool, which resembled a beach ball threads, providing precise measurements of currents, temperature and salt content. Some even record the whale sounds for the mission, called RUSALCA, or Russian-American Long-term Census of the Arctic.

RUSALCA, which in local language in Russia is the name of the goddess of the sea, has revealed increasing evidence of warming and its impact in the Pacific Ocean and Arcktik met.

RUSALCA do that while balancing the goal of two states with a growing interest in ensuring their Arctic territory, which is rich in resources, while open water make the area more easily accessible.

The activity was organized by the U.S. Rusian Administration and the National Academy of Sciences.

Area is an important part of the puzzle of climate change, according to British official's office, Reuters reported.

Woodgate was among as many as 50 scientists from the United States, Russia and other countries in the Professor Khromov ship for six weeks in August and September, to study marine life and water in the Bering and Chukchi Sea and Arctic waters of the far north of Wrangel Island sebelh in off the northeast coast of Russia.

It's hard to imagine when the changeable cold and very strong and fierce seas tossed the ship in late summer; more fresh water and warmer which flows through the straits toward the North Pole may push the sea ice edge to the back.

In 2007, the ice was a record that has never happened before so astonished the scientists. This summer, ice trsebut reduced so the third smallest in caratan history, according to U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
