Greenland

Tremors from the powerful earthquake that rocked Turkey and neighbouring Syria on Monday were felt as far away as Greenland, the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland said.

Temperatures in parts of Greenland are warmer than they have been in 1,000 years, the co-author of a study, that reconstructed conditions by drilling deep into the ice sheet, told AFP on Friday.

Greenland is losing trillions of tonnes of ice every decade. This ice loss is accelerating, and Greenland contains enough water to raise sea levels by 7 metres.

Scientists have identified DNA from animals, plants and microbes dating to about 2 million years ago - the oldest on record by far - from sediment at Greenland's northernmost point dug up around the mouth of an Arctic Ocean fjord.

The melting of Greenland ice sheet is expected to cause an increase in the global sea level by approximately 10 inches, a study has said.

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.

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 100-year-old shark that was found washed ashore near Newlyn Harbour in England died of meningitis, a post mortem report has found. Scientists who examined the body said that the latest revelation was "likely the world's first".

Greenland's immense ice sheet has lost enough ice in the past 20 years to submerge the entire United States in half a metre of water, according to data released this week by Danish researchers.

Scientists have discovered what is believed to be the world's northernmost landmass -- a yet-to-be-named island north of Greenland that could soon be swallowed up by seawaters.

Rain fell at the highest point on Greenland's ice sheet -- possibly for the first time -- in an event Danish scientists on Monday said was most likely driven by climate change.

OneWeb sent 36 satellites into orbit, a landmark launch it said would pave the way for it to begin rolling out a commercial Internet service in swathes of the northern hemisphere this year.

NASA posted a couple breath-taking images of the annular solar eclipse as seen from the United States on its official Instagram handle, calling it a "view of a lifetime." Check it out here.
