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

Just got my copy of this beautiful book in which I had the honour to contribute. Great job @madsfred @ArcticEcom! 👍

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.

”Sammen styrker vi velfærden og økonomien i Grønland 🇬🇱🇩🇰. Glad for at underskrive aftale med Jens-Frederik Nielsen om nye investeringer i bl.a. en ny landingsbane & dybvandshavn og nyt samarbejde på sundhedsområdet. Så vi i fællesskab styrker Grønland."

Today we launch The Arctic Encyclopaedia – a first-of-its-kind collection of perspectives on the Arctic . More than 200 contributors from 36 countries – including policy makers, scientists, artists and business people – each chose one word that connects them to the Arctic

❄️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. 🕊️✨

Today, the Kingdom of Denmark will assume the Chairship of the Arctic Council.
Our main goal is to ensure that the Arctic Council remains vibrant and resilient, continuing to serve as the primary forum for Arctic cooperation.

As the voice of the #Arctic’s private sector and principal organisation uniting municipalities across the high north, the Arctic Economic Council and @ArcticMayors respectively welcome the alignment in strategic priorities. @ArcticCouncil @ArcticSAONorway highnorthnews.com/en/arctic-…

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.
