An upcoming well drilling by Equinor is part of a bigger petro-push into Norwegian Arctic waters. Ice maps show that the polar sea-ice this winter stretched almost to the Bear Island.

The datasets have been crunched and indicate 2023 was the warmest year on record “by a huge margin,” the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Friday.

The Russian General Prosecutor argues that environmentalists undermine the country's expansionist plans in the Arctic and its development of the Northern Sea Route. The WWF is now declared an "undesired organisation."

There are thousands of contaminated sites in the Arctic, and as permafrost thaws, increased pollutants from these areas could be released, says a recent study.

February was milder than usual across Finland, according to the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI).

The occurrence of extreme precipitation over Svalbard seen over the last four decades is linked with declining sea-ice in the Greenland Sea, a new study concludes.

Thawing permafrost across the circumpolar North is posing an increased risk to transport and transportation infrastructure, and if left unchecked, could lead to tens of billions of dollars in extra costs, says a team of international researchers.

It was a great year for Norwegian oil and gas, the country's Petroleum Director Ingrid Sølvberg said in her recap of 2021. She did not mention the word "climate" even once.
