The Ice Albedo feedback is a useful effect to know when talking about positive feedback's, because it is partly our fault. The ice albedo basically is how snow and ice reflect more sunlight, so as the snow and ice melt it leads to warmer temperatures and more melting which becomes a cycle. This is a well known area because we as humans are known to contribute to the greenhouse effect which may be a cause of the ozone hole over the Arctic causing some of this melting.
