“We document the rapid transformation of one of the Earth’s last remaining Arctic refugia, a change that is being driven by global warming. In stark contrast to the amplified warming observed 
throughout much of the Arctic, the Hudson Bay Lowlands (HBL) of subarctic Canada has maintained cool temperatures, largely due to the counteracting effects of persistent sea ice. However, since the mid-1990s, climate of the HBL has passed a tipping point, the pace and magnitude of which is exceptional even by Arctic standards”
