Climate change may be large responsible. As Arctic sea ice seasonally recedes, large regions of ocean become exposed to the sun&#8217;s energy. The seas transfer this heat to the shoreline, melting the once permanently frozen land. Meanwhile, longer open-water periods allow storms to batter the weakening coast. These feedbacks may intensify as sea ice continues to shrink.
