Another view of the anomalous warmth across northern Siberian and the Kara Sea region of the #Arctic Ocean from this past August. Ocean surface temperatures are also running near record warm levels in this area, along with ice-free waters.

If geopolitical interest in the polar region has surged, so have U.S. and Canadian worries about how to defend their vast Arctic territories. That’s where icebreakers come in. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/17/world/nations-arctic-power-ships/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #shipping #fossilfuels #oil #gas #russia #us #energy #arctic #china #finland #canada
Russia says forced labor, introduced in 2011, is a humane form of punishment that reduces re-offending and lets criminals to contribute to the economy and society. Convicts say its a return to the days of the gulag. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/16/world/crime-legal/arctic-russia-convict-labor/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #ukraine #russia #russiaukrainewar #vladimirputin #prisons #arctic #forcedlabor
Denmark's defense minister attended a military exercise in Greenland with his Icelandic and Norwegian counterparts, with the United States, which covets the Danish autonomous territory, absent from it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/09/16/world/politics/nordic-greenland-war-games-us/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #greenland #denmark #nato #arctic #us
⚠️ While extent will not be setting any annual minimum records this year, the average thickness of #Arctic sea ice is actually at historic lows for this time of year (in the dataset by PIOMAS). Thinner ice is younger and usually more fragile.

Tundra of Svalbard. Not really my #silentsunday. My daughter is studying at Svalbard University inside the Arctic Circle and sent these. Still 24hr daylight. By December it'll be 24hr darkness.

It's time! Join me in tracking this year's #Arctic sea ice minimum!
Sea ice melt substantially slows every September as solar energy decreases and temperatures drop in the far north.
