Widespread loss of safe lake ice access in response to a warming climate

Fig 3. Spatial variation of unsafe transition periods. Transition periods from ice formation to safe ice thickness for the ice formation period (a,c,e) and the melt period (b,d,f) under 4˚C warming, using the CESM2-LE modeled ice thickness data. The maps include transition periods for equivalent thicknesses to safely traverse 100% black ice (a,b), 50% black ice and 50% white ice (c,d), and 100% white ice (e,f). https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0313994.g003 PLOS ONE Changing ice conditions inhibit safe use PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0313994 December 11, 2024 9 / 19
