Mosaic is a representation of the dense plumes of wildfire smoke seen in recent years which are contributing to the warming of the Arctic. Study says that particles of brown carbon in the smoke are drifting north and attracting heat to the polar region which has in turn contributed to loss of sea ice in the Arctic. These aerosols, which absorb sunlight and turn it into heat, are known to be the second largest contributor to global warming.
