Researchers have developed an interactive map named Lost Lakes, which allows for near real-time monitoring of around 4 million Arctic lakes and their changes since 2016.
These lakes are situated on permafrost, frozen ground that is thawing due to rising temperatures. The dynamics of these lakes, including their formation or disappearance, can provide crucial clues about the underlying permafrost. The map is freely accessible and intended for both experts and the general public.
