World's biggest High Arctic lake

An interdisciplinary team of scientists exploring responses to climate change, have found that within the space of a decade, there have been rapid changes to the ecology of Lake Hazen.  This lake is on Ellesmere Island, which lies within the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.  The team, calling the results of the study 'alarming',  describes its findings here.

Lake Hazen.

The changes which occurred as a result of a 1 degree increase in temperature, have affected the whole ecology of the lake.  The fish population, fish and human food sources are casualties of this change.  The scientific team will keep a close eye on this ecosystem, which may yet have more surprises.
