The Arctic is particularly vulnerable to climate change, but efforts to tackle it risk alienating the people who live there.

Found with most of its organs intact, the rhino is thought to have lived more than 20,000 years ago.

The Laptev Sea is one of the Arctic's biggest nurseries of new sea ice in winter, but Siberia's record summer heat may have halted production.

Extreme shrinkage of summer sea ice is just the latest evidence of rapid Arctic warming – and what happens in the Arctic doesn't stay there.

By studying the DNA of people who lived in East Asia thousands of years ago, scientists are starting to untangle how the region was populated.

The high temperatures and wildfires of 2019 were thought to have heralded a freak summer for the Arctic. Then 2020 brought worse.

The Zimovs want to restore the prehistoric 'mammoth steppe' ecosystem and see if it slows down – or even reverses – melting permafrost.

Climate change is thawing permafrost and increasing the risk of these accidents, and the region has fewer of the bacteria that can 'clean up' oil spills.

DNA from a 9,500-year-old dog from the Siberian island of Zhokhov provides a new picture of sled dogs today, including huskies and malamutes.

Models have predicted for some time that with every degree of global warming, the Arctic will see double or more.
