Climate
The climate of the Arctic is characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Precipitations mostly come as snow. The Arctic's annual precipitation is weak, with most of the area receiving less than 400 millimeters year-round. Blasts of winds and blizzard often lift up snow, creating the illusion of relentless snowfall. Some parts of the Arctic, closer to the North Pole, are year-round covered by ice, and all regions of the Arctic virtually undergo long periods with some form of ice on the surface. Average winter temperatures range from about -40°C to 0 °C, and can drop below -50 °C. Average summer temperatures range from about -10°C to 10 °C, with a few land areas exceptionally exceeding 20 °C. Coastal Arctic climates are altered by oceanic influences, having warmer temperatures and more important snowfalls than the colder inner areas, such as Greenland, which remains below freezing all year. The Arctic is currently affected by global warming, leading to a collapse of some parts of the ice sea and a dramatic alteration of the wildlife
