A decrease in pressure ridges over the past 3 decades is making the ice more uniform, with unclear consequences.

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

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

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 ...

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

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.
