Once considered remote and pristine, the Arctic is now succumbing to a tide of plastic. In Norway, a monumental effort is ...

The 'Last Ice Area' is expected to be the final place in the Arctic where ice persists all year round even as our planet warms up – but a new study suggests the region, and the ecosystem that relies ...

Even minor temperature changes show drastic impacts on Earth's North and South poles and soon one of them will turn ice-free.

The Arctic is known to be melting at an alarming ... This warming can also disrupt wind and ocean current patterns, causing more extreme weather events globally. But there’s still hope.

Carbon in the ocean can lead to higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the air, which contributes to climate change. The ...

In one study, scientists used previously frozen driftwood to discover changes in the circulation of Arctic Ocean currents. Shells A vast range of creatures survive the sea encased in protective armor.

They will learn about Arctic Ocean currents, sea ice, research technology, and expedition planning, and they will even send small wooden boats to the North Pole to track their movements. Local ...

The Arctic Ice Project has put forward the idea ... building "free-floating" underwater sea walls that "block the warm ocean currents from melting the glacier from below" and mimicking the cooling ...

In the Arctic, the old, multiyear ice is increasingly ... Pressure ridges are produced by lateral pressures on sea ice. Wind or ocean currents can stack floes up, forming metre-thick ridges.
