Scientists have mapped a previously unknown canyon entombed below two kilometers of ice in Greenland. The discovery was made by a group of scientists from Bristol University’s School of Geographical Sciences in the UK.

At 10,530 feet above sea level and deep inside the Arctic Circle, NASA could hardly find a more inhospitable place to test its new rover than Summit Camp, Greenland. After one month in the snow and sub-freezing temperatures, GROVER is still functioning.

A group of plants frozen for 400 years have been observed sprouting new growth after being exposed to air and sunlight, scientists say. They brought back to life a collection of plants recovered from melting glaciers in the Canadian Arctic.

A video clip of a new film captures the moment an iceberg in Greenland begins to calve, making it the largest iceberg calving ever to be captured on film.

A giant iceberg which broke off the Petermann Glacier in Greenland is now on its way to the sea. Shipping may be affected.

Nuuk - NASA scientists say that in July, Greenland's surface ice cover melted over a more extensive area than at any time in more than 30 years of satellite observation. Measurements show that Greenland ice cover has experienced unprecedented degree of melting.

The four Greenpeace activists who had set themselves up for a stay, hanging from the rigging of oil drilling rig, Stena Don, surrendered to police Thursday.

Greenpeace activists said they eluded tight security and gained access to the deepwater drilling ship, the Stena Don, which is anchored between Greenland and Canada in 'iceberg alley' while drilling an exploratory oil well.

Researchers have been watching the environment change in Greenland for some time. Now, however, they've noted the largest ice sheet in 50 years is breaking off from the island and moving south where it could interfere with shipping.
