Sea ice, however, does play a critical role in reflecting the warmth of sunlight away and it provides habitats for polar organisms, so there are multiple potential benefits of the concept.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_53743\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-53743\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-53743 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5d5c3e6ccd97842ab96a6d9c-1024x683.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/5d5c3e6ccd97842ab96a6d9c.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/5d5c3e6ccd97842ab96a6d9c.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/5d5c3e6ccd97842ab96a6d9c.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/5d5c3e6ccd97842ab96a6d9c.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-53743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The submarine&#8217;s hexagonal tank; image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asacompetition.com\/results-all\/re-freeze-the-arctic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Faris, Rajak, Kotahatuhaha<\/a><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Questions over the idea\u2019s feasibility, scale and ability to operate without the power of fossil fuels must surely be answered before a project like this can be realized.
