Abstract
We review the results of several studies of significance to the question of future shipping conditions the Canada´s Northwest Passage. As shown, these studies raise significant questions around the estimation of the impacts of predicted lighter ice seasons from Global Climate Models and introduce further plausible scenarios that should be considered as well when planning adaptation strategies for marine transportation in the Canadian Arctic.
