I understand that permafrost is a multiple foot deep layer of frozen earth and has now recently been starting to melt due to the rising temperatures. My question is that because of this melting, there must be a place where all of the melted ice and soil to go. I saw a river of water, large chunks, of ice, and soil in the video and I was curious as to where it went. Does it collect in a lake or possibly the Arctic Ocean? If so, what impact would this have on the fish and other aquatic life living in these areas? -Carl B.
