Antarctica Sees Similar Climate Change Effects As Greenland: Study
The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster that previously predicted, Danish researchers warned.

Russia Wants India To Navigate Northern Sea Route
Russia is avidly courting India for an Arctic power play in the 'Northern Sea Route' with an Arctic Council Membership on the table.

Satellite Observations Record Arctic Sea Ice at Lowest Level of the Year
NASA satellites recorded Arctic sea ice at 1.78 million sq miles on Sept. 10, 2025—its tenth-lowest extent. Antarctic ice also stayed below seasonal averages. Scientists stress these lows reflect long-term climate-driven changes reshaping Earth’s polar regions.

Sea Ice To Ocean Currents, Antarctica Is Undergoing Abrupt Changes
Melting sea ice allows oceans to warm more rapidly, which melts more sea ice. Once triggered, they can be difficult or even impossible to reverse on timescales meaningful to humans.

Greenland's Melting Glaciers Feed Ocean Life, Study Finds
A new NASA-led study reveals that Greenland’s melting glaciers are fueling life in the Arctic Ocean. Each summer, massive freshwater plumes from glaciers like Jakobshavn drag deep-sea nutrients upward, boosting phytoplankton growth by up to 40%. These microscopic organisms form the base of the marine food web and play a key role in carbon absorpt...

New Climate Model Uncovers Detailed Regional Effects of Global Warming
A high-resolution climate model reveals that a 1°C global temperature rise could drive Arctic warming up to 5°C and intensify rainfall extremes in regions like the Himalayas and Andes. The simulation offers vital regional insights for climate adaptation, disaster risk management, and infrastructure planning in vulnerable zones, including small is...

In Norway's Arctic, Meteorologists Have A First-Row Seat To Climate Change
In the cold of the Norwegian Arctic, meteorologist Trond Robertsen manually recorded precipitation levels for over two decades, witnessing firsthand the effects of climate change.

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...

Polar Bear Biopsies Reveal Impact On Arctic Pollution And Climate Change
With one foot braced on the helicopter's landing skid, a veterinarian lifted his air rifle, took aim and fired a tranquiliser dart at a polar bear.

Major Disruption Has Left Arctic Polar Vortex Away from North Pole, Scientists Alert
As the polar vortex fades, temperatures in Northern Europe, portions of Asia, and the eastern United States will be below average. Temperatures for the last week of March were pretty normal across the eastern U.S., but the latest forecasts do predict increased chances of below-normal temperatures for the next week.

Putin Says Russia Won't Interfere In Trump's Plan To Take Over Greenland
The Arctic is heating up, not just in terms of Climate Change, but also in terms of geopolitics. With US President Donald Trump pressing to annex Greenland and Canada, Russia isn't to be left behind.

Greenland’s Melting Glaciers Expose 1,620 km of New Coastline Since 2000
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn o...

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...

Arctic Siberia Summers 10 Degree Celsius Warmer in Last Interglacial, New Study Reveals
A new study reveals that Arctic Siberia experienced summer temperatures up to 10 degree Celsius warmer than today during the Last Interglacial period, which occurred approximately 115,000–130,000 years ago. Researchers analysed sediment cores and fossil records from the Dmitry Laptev Strait to reconstruct past environments. The study found signif...
