Polar regions may be becoming more profitable, but these “benefits” come with far more severe costs.
More than 600 experts will spend the next year drifting in Arctic waters to gain a better understanding of how climate change is affecting the region and how it can be fought.
The eastern Arctic and sub-Arctic marine areas of Canada are changing rapidly under climate change.
New shipping opportunities are opening up in the Arctic as sea ice continues to recede. But travel is still dangerous and the region isn’t equipped to deal with more vessel traffic.
Since 2005, the Barents Sea has become too warm for sea ice to exist south of the Polar Front.
The recent Arctic Council meeting in Finland shows there’s still avid interest in developing the Arctic. Some are arguing the entire region should be considered a ‘global commons.’
Using baited cameras scientists have captured some of the first underwater video footage of the elusive Greenland shark.
The link between melting sea ice and extreme weather has been known for a while, but now it’s happening further afield.
China has been very quiet in negotiations over fisheries regulations for the central Arctic Ocean. Why is the country’s behaviour there so dramatically different from what it pursues in Antarctica?
Cold polar water can stop the Arctic sea ice from melting – but what happens if it warms up?

There’s an ever-increasing demand for more shipping routes and it’s taking its toll on the planet.
Attacks on institutions that keep records of global temperatures, such as NASA, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the UK Met Office, and Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, continue…
It is estimated that a substantial portion of recent global warming in the Arctic is caused by naturally occurring warm “sweet…
