Abiotic Factors are nonliving factors in an organisms habitat that interact with it.
Icebergs/Ice-These abiotic factos can pose obstruction to swimming in the Arctic Ocean, but can become a safe haven for prey trying to escape the grasp of a water-bound predator, like the orca, and allow other organisms like polar bears to hunt and a place to live
Water-Water is one the most important abiotic factors in the Arctic Ocean. With a volume of around 18.07x10^6 km^3, it makes up 1.3% of the world total ocean water. It provides a habitat for both prey and predators living in the arctic ocean
Ozone Layer-One of the most crucial abiotic factors of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem lies above it. The ozone layer in the lower stratosphere has absorbed 97-99% of the sun's ultraviolet light, which would otherwise harm organisms and damage the ecosystem beyond repair
