University of Colorado scientist Ted Scambos said that could happen soon, likely in March, and would \"cut deeper to the bone\" of the ice shelf, changing its shape. Ice shelves - sheets of floating ice - wrap around three-quarters of the South Pole's coastline.

London: A remote hunting community on the edges of the Arctic Circle were baffled when they heard a “hum” and a “pinging” sound throughout the summer.

According to the Independent, the eerie sound has allegedly scared away animals from a popular fishing spot in Nunavut that is ordinarily a hive of mammal activity.

The Canadian army has sent a squad to investigate the mysterious “beeping” sounds that are reportedly emanating from the depths of the Arctic sea.

The mysterious sounds have given rise to several theories. While some people have attribute the noise to sonar surveys conducted by mining companies mapping the sea floor, others are speculating that it is the Greenpeace that is generating the sound to terrify the wildlife away.

The Canadian crew, however, has not been able to detect the source of the sound. In a statement, Department of National Defence spokeswoman Ashley Lemire said: “The Canadian armed forces are aware of allegations of unusual sounds emanating from the seabed in the Fury and Hecla Strait in
Nunavut.”
