Extreme weather events have become significantly more common in the Arctic over recent decades, posing a threat to vital polar ecosystems, according to new research by an international team of scientists.

Despite crushing pressure, total darkness and near-freezing temperatures, researchers found an underwater world teeming with life.

An Arctic blast is forecast to usher in multiple waves of dangerous cold to the Midwest and Northeast next week, forecasters warn.

The Arctic is undergoing extreme melting as rising temperatures and climate patterns alter the natural cycles of its extreme landscapes. Intensified extreme weather is causing rapid ice loss and higher melting rates throughout the Arctic, where melting that usually takes weeks or months happens in a few days, according to an NC State study.

I felt humbled," a guide leading the Arctic tour told Newsweek, as "they walk by as if you are just an object out on the land."

Scientists took samples from whale blow, identifying possible disease risks for marine mammals in northern seas.

In the global race to control the Arctic, the challenge isn't just geopolitical – it's technological. As governments plan for the possibility of conflict in the

Arctic air is spilling into Florida ahead of New Year’s, bringing colder-than-normal temps. Are frozen iguanas a probability during this cold snap?

To support the Eastern Front, the Allies sent convoys to Russia through waters so frigid men could freeze to death in five minutes if they fell in.

The correlation between Arctic wildfires and abnormal snow cover under global warming is of growing concern. A comprehensive quantitative assessment by researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has shown that increasingly frequent seasonal wildland fires across the Arctic in recent years have delayed snow cover formation by at least five days and could lead to a future 18-day reduction of snow cover duration,
