However, because the polar seasons are so sensitive, they are the "canaries in the coal mine" for climate change. Longer summers and shorter winters mean less ice is being replenished, which impacts everything from global sea levels to the jet stream that dictates weather in New York, London, and Tokyo.
Life at the Extremes: A Guide to the Polar Seasons At the top and bottom of our world, the traditional four-season calendar of spring, summer, autumn, and winter doesn’t quite apply. In the Arctic and Antarctic, life is dictated by a dramatic celestial dance: the presence—or total absence—of the sun. polar seasons
Conversely, during the polar day or summer, the Sun does not set below the horizon for 24 hours a day, providing constant daylight. Like the polar night, the duration of the polar day varies with latitude, lasting from a few days to several months. The closer you are to the pole, the longer the period of constant daylight. However, because the polar seasons are so sensitive,
