The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic zone north of Greenland is splitting in a never-before-seen event. The waters found there are so cold, they have been frozen for as long as records exist — even during summer...

Hands up who knew that Greenland has been pretty much the same temperature for the last hundred and forty years? We know that there has been massive melting ice, shrinking ice sheets, a dark zone that is a huge problem, that...

The largest wildfire in Greenland's history burned bright last summer, a potential warning sign for a future rattled by catastrophic climate change. Scientists are concerned that Greenland's massive ice sheet may absorb...

In the far North Atlantic, scientists have uncovered new evidence that an unusual infusion of freshwater into the ocean may already be affecting the ocean's circulation...

A recent bout of extreme warm weather in the far north Arctic Circle is setting new temperature records and unnerving climate scientists. "To have zero degrees [Celsius] at the North Pole in February - it's just wrong,"...

Researchers have acquired evidence that heat emanating from deep below the Earth's surface is contributing to the meltdown of Greenland's glaciers. Though they have long suspected that a subterranean heat source was a factor...

Denmark is cleaning up the United State's mess - literally. Half a century ago, the US abandoned several military bases in Greenland, leaving behind toxic pollution. Now, the Danish government announced that it will foot...

A recently identified 512-year-old Greenland shark may be the world's oldest living vertebrate. Although scientists discovered the 18-foot fish in the North Atlantic months ago, its age was only recently revealed in a study...

Hmmmm……what does everyone think of this? ~ ctm Here is the abstract: Contrasting Greenland and Antarctic temperatures during the last glacial period (115,000 to 11,650 years ago) are thought to have been driven...

  From NASA By Maria-Jose Viñas, NASA’s Earth Science News Team Earlier this year, Arctic sea ice sank to a record low wintertime extent for the third straight year...

Could reaching environmental tipping points really impact the Earth's climate all that much? New research from an international team of four scientists says yes...

One of Greenland's biggest glaciers could be in trouble. A Netherlands university professor pointed out a new chasm in the Petermann Glacier, as seen in satellite images. NASA's Operation IceBridge recently went over to...

A decommissioned U.S. military base encased in the Greenland Ice Sheet since the 1960s is slowly being unearthed by Earth’s rising temperatures, along with the toxic waste stored inside. Snowfall is not able to keep up...

The Icefjord Center consists of wooden framework, designed as a truss, that bridges across the landscape. The building is scheduled to be built on a UNESCO-protected site in Greenland, and it will present 4000 years of cultural...

Once completed, The Icefjord Center will be a place for education and understanding about climate change. The building consists of wooden framework, designed as a truss, that bridges across the landscape. The building replicates...
