Freed by warming, waters once locked beneathice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.
In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia''s northeast coast,the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks ofheating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year.
"It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it isthawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle,a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens theirenvironment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-boundwilderness, the preservation of their culture.
A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of theArctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. Thediscovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raisedfears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefiedgas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europeand North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution asgenerators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energyindustry.
Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing theUnited States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected costof $100 million or more for each one.
Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shapedby centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes inweather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding.
In Finnmark, Norway''s northernmost province, the Arcticlandscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but forthe cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herdingthem.
A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becomingunhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder.
Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting theenvironment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oilwealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.
And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr.Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not aboutto change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But hesaid warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers ofsnow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to digthrough to the lichen they eat.
"The people who are making the decisions, theyare living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira,sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don''t mark thechange of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources fromnature who mark it."
