July was Alaska's warmest month ever, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Alaska has been America's canary in the coal mine for climate warming, and the yellow bird is swooning.
"It becomes easier to have these unusual sets of conditions that now lead to records," Brettschneider said. Sea ice off Alaska's north and northwest shore and other Arctic regions retreated to the lowest level ever recorded for July, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center at the University of Colorado.
"The temperature out there for us was in the high 70s," Britt said."On those boats, everything up there is designed to conserve heat, not vent heat. It was unbearably warm inside the boat."
