The @WhiteHouse has released a new Maritime Action Plan - and it states that US will modernize aging infrastructure in #Greenland. Will be interesting to follow where and what.

The shores of the Arctic ocean are thrumming with ever more activity. Expect more in spring 2026, when the ice breaks up. The region is becoming less remote and forbidding econ.st/4q9xYkW

When we present #icebreaker statistics, we strive to make any comparison "apples to apples".
For example, if China is claimed to have six icebreakers, then using the same criteria the United States would certainly have more than three.

❄️A wise observation from @madsfred on what the #EUArcticForum is about
We need everyone around the table when taking decisions about the Arctic

A stunning scene in Tromsø yesterday!
Locals and runners from around the world ran under the midnight sun.
A race beyond borders, lit by Arctic light. 🕊️✨

I am once again compelled to tell you that climate change is not making the Canadian Arctic more accessible. The NWP shipping season is shorter. Ice road seasons are shorter. And building roads and railroads on melting permafrost is much more expensive.
