(David Thurton/CBC)What does the 'new Arctic' climate look like? On Monday, a study of Arctic conditions was published saying the Arctic region has started to transition into a new climate regime altogether. Laura Landrum, a climate scientist and lead author on the paper, said the climate has changed "astonishingly quickly" from what it was just decades ago.

Ruben says current knowledge holders are finding ways to adapt to the rapidly changing climate, checking in month-to-month on different conditions.
