Researchers have found giant viruses on Greenland’s ice that might control the darkening and melting of Arctic ice by infecting snow algae. Harnessing these viruses could help slow the ice melt, presenting a new avenue in climate change mitigation.
As the Arctic thaws each spring, both fauna and darkening algae revive, the latter speeding up ice melt. Scientists have identified giant viruses that potentially regulate these algae. These viruses are unique in size and genetic complexity, offering potential natural solutions to the issues caused by rapid ice melting.
