Last update: 9 hours agoTourism and Nature: Ilulissat’s new international airport is meant to grow tourism, but the influx could put pressure on the fragile Icefjord region, where some residents already question who benefits. Mining Pressures: Amaroq has advanced plans for a Maarmorilik mine and submitted terms for environmental and social reviews; a separate report highlights fears that a major mine could threaten southern Greenland’s sheep farms. Ice and Sea-Level Risk: New research on ancient soil beneath Greenland’s ice sheet suggests the ice was much smaller around 400,000 years ago, when temperatures were similar to today’s. Global cryosphere reports also warn that substantial ice loss is already locked in, even if warming is limited to 1.5°C.
