Аннотация: The Last Ice Area is unique amongst potential World Heritage sites, as it is nominated not only for what it is, but for what it will be; a locus of resilience in a rapidly changing world. Sea ice projections show this region within decades will be the only place where year-round Arctic sea ice will remain. This will make it increasingly important for ice-obligate and ice-associated marine mammal species. The nominated area and nearby marine environments provide diverse habitats for a multitude of unique life-forms highly adapted in their life history, ecology and physiology to the extreme and seasonal conditions of this environment. This ice-associated life is important not just in its own right, but for what it provides for adjacent Inuit communities, both in terms of sustenance, and in terms of cultural continuity and resilience.
