The Arctic tern’s global trek
The Arctic tern’s global trek
The tiny migratory birds can fly up to 50,000 miles a year, say scientists using geolocators to study the routes of the birds that travel from as far as upper Greenland to the shores of Antarctica. Of all migrating birds, the Arctic tern flies the farthest — braving cold, wind, storms, predators and starvation to travel from as far as upper Greenland to the shores of Antarctica.

Tourism can play vital role in economic recovery, green economy – UN body
KAKTOVIK, Alaska — With its passengers bundled against the arctic wind blowing off the Beaufort Sea , the small boat speeds smoothly across the lagoon. We pass the "bone pile" — the place where the unused remains of Native-caught bowhead whales are left — as we arc around a sandy point and into the adjacent lagoon. With temperatures in the 30s and a light wind blowing, we’ve just left the Inupiaq village of Kaktovik . Our destination is Bernard Spit, just off Barter Island. "I can see two, t

Greenhouse Gases Put the Brakes on Global Cooling
Were we on our way to becoming a planet of snow and ice before we began producing tons of greenhouse gases every year since the Industrial Revolution? An international team of scientists thinks so. They looked at the temperatures “recorded” in Arctic ice, tree rings and lake sediments and found a sudden reversal in millenniums of naturally occurring cooling. Darrell S. Kaufman, climate specialist at Northern Arizona University, led the recently released study ( Science , September
