Two properties dominate reflectivity in dry snow — the size of snow grains, which become larger and more absorbent as they melt, and the presence of dark impurities that absorb the sun's energy, predominantly black carbon and mineral dust, which also cause the snow to melt faster.

That's a problem because the darker the snow is, the more sunlight it absorbs, and the faster it melts.

The shrinking sea ice drives a classic positive feedback loop: as more ice melts, fewer patches of white snow reflect solar energy, and larger regions of dark, sunlight - absorbing seawater open up — both causing the ice to melt even faster.
