A UK-based startup is working on carrying out a bold plan to fix the decline of sea ice in the Arctic.

Real Ice's ultimate plan is to re-freeze the Arctic by thickening ice to slow down the damage caused by climate change.

Co-founder Simon Woods says this is their third winter of research - and it's promising so far.

"We're chasing a moving target here - but at current levels, 1.2 meters of ice should survive the summer, and that's what we want."
