Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.

In the Arctic the polar ice cap is melting, losing about 3% ice every year. In the summer of 2007, for the first time in recorded history, the North-West Passage was open for shipping.
Ice melt in the Arctic Sea occurs primarily due to rising global temperatures caused by climate change. Warmer air and ocean temperatures lead to increased surface melting and the thinning of sea ice. Additionally, the loss of reflective ice surfaces allows more solar radiation to be absorbed by the darker ocean water, further accelerating the melting process. This phenomenon has significant ecological and climatic implications, affecting wildlife habitats and contributing to rising sea levels.

Yes the arctic ice caps are melting and the level of the worlds oceans is slowly rising.

Yes, sea ice in the Antarctic and especially in the Arctic is melting, more and more each summer. In the Arctic this is causing serious problems for polar bears who rely on sea ice during a long winter to catch their prey, seals, and build up enough fat in themselves and their pups to survive the summer.
Yes, the ice in the Arctic is melting at an alarming rate due to climate change.
