    About our Arctic news

    Latest news on the Arctic, providing comprehensive coverage of climate change, melting ice caps, Northwest Passage shipping, indigenous peoples, wildlife conservation and polar research expeditions.

    The Arctic, encompassing the northernmost region of Earth above the Arctic Circle (66.5°N), is experiencing unprecedented changes. This vast area, including parts of Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway, Russia, and the United States (Alaska), as well as the Arctic Ocean, is home to approximately 4 million people and diverse wildlife species.

    Recent satellite data reveals accelerating ice melt, with Arctic sea ice reaching historically low levels during summer months. The opening of new shipping routes, particularly the Northwest Passage and Northern Sea Route, has intensified international interest in Arctic resources and transportation opportunities. The Arctic Council, despite geopolitical tensions, continues its work on environmental protection and sustainable development, though Russia's participation remains suspended.

    Indigenous communities, including the Inuit, Sami, and Nenets peoples, face significant challenges as traditional ways of life adapt to rapid environmental changes. Local initiatives focus on preserving cultural heritage while embracing sustainable development opportunities. The region has seen increased tourism interest, though concerns about its environmental impact persist.

    The Arctic's strategic importance has grown significantly since the first polar expeditions of the 19th and early 20th centuries. From early research stations to modern scientific facilities, the region has been crucial for climate science, with the Svalbard Global Seed Vault symbolising its vital role in global preservation efforts. Historical territorial disputes and resource claims continue to influence international relations in the region.

    Our NewsNow feed on the Arctic provides real-time updates from leading scientific institutions, environmental organisations, and regional news sources. Whether you're interested in climate science, geopolitics, indigenous rights, or wildlife conservation, this feed offers comprehensive coverage of this critically important region as it undergoes historic transformations.
