The melting of Greenland’s glaciers may be more sensitive to climate change than previously assumed, according to new research which found they can also quickly expand during relatively short periods of climatic cooling. Read the full story

There are signs that another glacial flood could be starting from the eastern Skaftarkatli crater under South Iceland’s Vatnajokull glacier. There is no imminent danger to travellers. Read the full story

Scientists are set to use wi-fi technology to study how glaciers in Greenland break up to form icebergs. The satellite navigation sensors will be dropped onto the rapidly decreasing glaciers by helicopter so their shape and path can be tracked. Read the full story

Some glaciers in Greenland melt slower in warm summers than in cool ones, according to a new study. Read the full story

Iceland’s glaciers have never retreated as much as they did this year – especially the ones in the south. The unusually warm summer weather and ash from Eyjafjallajokull are being blamed. Read the full story

Five icebergs off the coast of Greenland have been fitted with satellite trackers so their movements can be monitored online. Knut Solberg, a Norwegian climate change scientists and Arctic adventurer, scaled the floating ice mountains himself in order to attach the global positioning system (GPS) transmitters.

Icelandic glaciologist Helgi Bjornsson believes all Iceland’s melting glaciers will be gone within 150 to 200 years. This includes Europe’s largest glacier, Vatnajokull. Read the full story

Canadians will soon be drinking water that originated in Greenland now that the government has granted permission to a Canadian company to pursue a plan to fish for ice from its glaciers. Iceberg Canada Corporation will soon begin exploring ways to harvest ice from the Qoqqup Sermia glacier near Narsaq and the Narsap Sermia glacier near Nuuk; and if the government likes their proposal they will get the green light.
