Arctic

The scientists chose a Beagle dog for the cloning process as it shares genetic ancestry with arctic wolves.

Russian nuclear-powered submarines fired cruise missiles in the Arctic today as part of military drills designed to test Moscow's readiness for a possible conflict in its icy northern waters, the defence ministry said.

India is keen to strengthen its partnership with Russia on Arctic subjects and there is immense scope for cooperation in the field of energy as well, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today.

Greenland's ice sheet is reportedly losing ice faster than previously estimated. A new report claims that it is destined to lose over 100 million metric tons of ice before re-establishing balance with the prevailing Arctic climate.

A new study has suggested that the Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the world over the past 43 years. This means the Arctic is on average around 3 degree Celsius warmer than it was in 1980. The Arctic sea ice is covered in a bright layer of snow which reflects around 85% of incoming solar radiation back out to space.

You can only get there by boat or helicopter, but Michelin-starred chef Poul Andrias Ziska hopes his restaurant in remote Greenland, far above the Arctic Circle, is worth the journey.

Russian flags flap in the stiff polar breeze, a bust of Lenin looms out of the snow and a vast slogan declares, "Communism is our goal!"

Scientists have managed to find signs of microbial life in one of the harshest spots on Earth, giving further hope that life may also be found in some of the unknown environments of space. In the depths of the Canadian Arctic, scientists managed to identify signs of life in the low-oxygen, super-salty waters of the Lost Hammer Spring.

Scientists have discovered a unique group of polar bears with distinct behaviour in southeast Greenland, that have remained isolated for hundreds of years. These polar bears are genetically different from other polar bears. While polar bears in the Arctic region usually depend on sea ice to hunt seals, the new group of polar bears appears to have ...

A photographer has recreated a 1918 photo of a glacier in order to highlight how much of it has disappeared over the last century.

Denmark and Canada will divide the small, uninhabited island in the Arctic known as Hans Island, ending an almost 50-year long ownership spat, in a largely symbolic act of diplomacy designed to avoid tensions in the high North.

Global warming is posing an existential threat to the Siberian tundra, the frozen lands near the Arctic Circle, researchers have said in a new study. They said that the tundra could virtually disappear by mid-millennium if temperatures continued to grow rapidly.

According to a new climate update released by the UN's World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), there is a 50:50 possibility that the annual average global temperature will rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels within next five years.

The camouflaged BMW iX1 and the X1 test mules completed driving dynamics testing at the BMW Group's winter testing centre in the town of Arjeplog, close to the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden.

The first prototypes of the Rolls-Royce Spectre EV are completed winter testing in temperatures under -26 degrees centigrade and further cooled to -40 degrees centigrade, about 55 km from the Arctic circle.
