Turns out, it’s not just the sun speeding up Arctic glacier melt—tiny microbes are playing a huge role too! These little guys produce dark pigments that stain the ice, making it absorb more heat and melt even faster. Scientists say this “biological darkening” is causing massive ice loss, which could mess with sea levels, water supplies, and even unleash more methane. Researchers are scrambling to study these microbes before they disappear. Who knew something so small could have such a big impact? #Science #ArcticMeltdown #ClimateChange
