Sea ice is as important to the Arctic as soil is to the forest: it supports the entire Arctic food chain. When ocean water gets cold enough to freeze, it expels salt, causing channels to form inside the ice. As sunlight filters through, algae grow within these channels, creating an underwater garden that forms the base of the food chain.
