This incident has happened on july 2007, At the time,
the area of tundra in Alaska, releasing 2.3 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and
instantly there are flames on the pole. It's happen because the
region absorb much
carbon, and the earth must release it. Fire on the tundra in the Arctic region is different from the fires, for the
example, in the woods. In this event,
no material burned,
but the soil or earth that suddenly rekindle the fire.
fire occurred in an area of 400 square miles in the river Anatktuvuk. This is the biggest fires for thousands of year. The researchers from the University of Florida,Michelle Mack warned, "These fires can adversely affect the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere". "It's never was a fire during the 11,000 years in the tundra area. But this incident occurred more frequently, perhaps as a result of an increase in the earth's climate, "added Bret-Harte Syndonia, ecologist at the University of Alaska.
Mack said, "if the amount of carbon that is released is very large, this can increase the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. And imagine if the heat close to the area of ice, the polar ice will melt faster".
