The NOAA report found that the average North Pole temperature from October 2018 to September 2019 was 1.9 degrees Celsius higher than the 1981-2010 average. Scientists have dubbed the warming phenomenon Arctic amplification.
This visual representation of the ice age clearly shows how the quantity of older and thicker ice has changed between 1984 and 2016 and how the arctic sea ice is disappearing dramatically.
Hot weather has engulfed a huge portion of the Arctic, from Alaska to Greenland to Siberia. Yet another symptom of an Arctic transitioning into a more volatile state as the planet warms.
Rapid changes in terrain are taking place in Canada's high Arctic polar deserts due to increases in summer air temperatures.
The research has found that even if the world were to cut emissions in line with the Paris agreement, winter temperatures in the Arctic would rise above 3.5 degrees Celsius by 2050 and 5.9 degrees Celsius by 2080.
Scientists that studied the Western Canada’s permafrost, which is more ice-and sediment-rich than others, discovered that this permafrost meltwater contains sulfuric acid.
Arctic sea ice isn't just threatened by the melting of ice around its edges, a new study has found: Warmer water that originated hundreds of miles away has penetrated deep into the interior of the Arctic.
The oldest and thickest sea ice in the Arctic zone north of Greenland is splitting in a never-before-seen event. For the second time this year, the frozen waters cracked open to reveal the sea beneath them.
A new NASA-led experiment measured a key component of the Arctic’s energy balance from space for the very first time.
As frigid air sweeps across Europe, the Arctic itself is seeing an unprecedented warm spell.
The recent wave of mild, humid air and its attendant impacts is disturbing. But this is the fourth winter where we’ve seen a veritable heat wave rack the Arctic.
The tundra of Eurasia and North America contains twice as much mercury as the rest of the world combined.
When the strong winds that circle the Arctic slacken, cold polar air can escape and cause extreme winter chills in parts of the Northern hemisphere - a new study finds.
The World Meteorological Organization will scrutinize Arctic and Antarctic to minimize risks linked to rapid climate change.
