The melting of the ice cap already allows cargo ships to make the journey through the Northwest Passage in the Canadian archipelago for several summer weeks a year, thus cutting a week from the transit time from Europe to China.

By 2040, the route is expected to be open for up to two months each year. — Tim Marshall
