Denmark has invited high-ranking officials from Norway, Russia, the United States and Canada to meet in Greenland next month to discuss competing claims to the Arctic, it said on Wednesday.
Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moller and his Norwegian...
For an hour or so Greenland had it’s own mighty waterfall, flowing secretly at three times the volume of Niagara.
Arctic sea ice next summer may shrink below the record low last year, according to a University of Washington climatologist. Ignatius Rigor spoke Monday at the Alaska Forum on the Environment and said global warming combined with natural cyclical changes likely will continue to push ice into the North Atlantic Ocean.
Greenland will hold a referendum in November on greater autonomy from Denmark in what many residents hope could become a step toward full independence, the Arctic island’s prime minister said Thursday.
President Vladimir Putin on Thursday granted “hero” awards to scientists backing Russia’s claim to a mountain range under the Arctic Ocean that is believed to contain huge oil and gas reserves.
The next report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change should deal with the “frightening” possibility that both Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets start melting at the same time, the chief U.N. climate scientist said Tuesday.
There’s more to the recent dramatic and alarming thawing of the Arctic region than can be explained by man-made global warming alone, a new study found. Nature is pushing the Arctic to the edge, too.
When the calendar turned to 2007, the heat went on and the weather just got weirder. January was the warmest first month on record worldwide _ 1.53 degrees above normal. It was the first time since record-keeping began in 1880 that the globe’s average temperature has been so far above the norm for any month of the year.
An already relentless melting of the Arctic greatly accelerated this summer, a warning sign that some scientists worry could mean global warming has passed an ominous tipping point. One even speculated that summer sea ice would be gone in five years.
Republican Rudy Giuliani is trying to make up for lost time in New Hampshire by cutting to the chase with low-tax talk likely to resonate in a state whose lack of income tax speaks to the political leanings of its GOP primary voters.
Milo Radulovich, the Air Force Reserve lieutenant championed by Edward R. Murrow when the military threatened to decommission him during the anti-communist crackdown of the 1950s, has died. He was 81.
The once towering ice sheets of Greenland are fast eroding, ringing the danger bells all around. The fear of a tragic sea-level rise is also round the corner. Is it the beginning of scramble for space on earth and around water bodies?
The once...
If you are wondering the ecstatic ice sheets of natural wilderness to be a part of your life, you are getting wrong here. The naturally formed ice sheets of Arctic and Greenland are caving in under global warming, a fact very much proving itself....
Scientists have drilled through two kilometers of ice in southern Greenland and have come out with a startling revelation. They used the DNA taken from ice buried deep below the surface to find that southern Greenland once had a lush green pine...
This the world’s largest and loneliest island has just became more accessible, thanks to Air Greenland’s recent launch of first-ever commercial flights from the USA (a five-hour, two-time-zone jaunt from Baltimore). Well if the Greenlandic silence...
Thanks to global warming, Greenland may not stay an oxymoron for too long. Curiously named, this island nation, except the southern part in summer, is covered in snow. However, NASA believes that this might not be the case for too long.
As per the...
The planet is no longer lonely; rather it is crowded and hot! Paving the way for a different kind of experience in travel, one that is primarily aimed at scientists but is attracting other travelers as well. Watch as beautiful parts of the planet are...
The plate tectonics theory has been taken as the base of the formation of the continents on the Earth. But when the plates began to move, had put geologists in a quandary for a long time now. A recent find, described in the journal Science, shows the...
The international team of the researchers headed by Norwegian geologist Herald Furnes of the University of Bergen has found the oldest known chunk in Greenland’s Isua Supracrustal Belt. It is estimated to be 3.8 billion years old.
The old age of...
A chunk of Earth’s crust, about 3.8 billion year-old, has been found in Greenland. It is the oldest known such chunk ever found in the earth’s crust. The substantial rock is a type known as ophiolite. This signature of tectonic plate movement is an...
When asked, why is the sea levels rising, scientists and even laymen would immediately give a universally known reply – melting of giant ice sheets in the Antarctica and Greenland. But, do you know, this ice shedding is just 12% of the current rate...
