Arctic cyclones become especially destructive when several strike one after another, causing about twice as much sea ice loss as isolated cyclones, with impacts persisting roughly two and a half times longer. As Arctic ice thins and weakens, damage from these storms appears to be increasing, potentially creating a feedback loop accelerating future ice loss and making Arctic coasts more vulnerable to storms.
