Canada & the North
Greenland draws adventurous travelers with its iceberg-filled fjords, glacier-covered mountains and opportunities to encounter Arctic wildlife. Humpback whales feed in coastal waters, the Greenland ice sheet covers most of the island and Inuit communities maintain traditions that have endured for centuries.

When I first considered my trip to Greenland, I enthusiastically anticipated the breathtaking scenery of fjords and icebergs bobbing among crystal-clear waters. But what transpired far exceeded my expectations. The multisensory experience was a joyous surprise and contributed to this being an awe-inspiring adventure.

On August 4, 2026, a Manhattan-sized ice island broke away from Greenland’s Petermann Glacier after years of progressing fractures had weakened its floating ice tongue. This Arctic iceberg will now be tracked as it drifts, breaks apart and potentially affects shipping routes.

If you have ever wondered what the secret to longevity is, look no further than species that have inhabited Earth for centuries. Many are ocean-dwelling, though a few land animals have evolved to live far longer than humans. These long lifespans are often linked to slow metabolism, stable environments and limited predation.

“Life finds a way.” That’s a now-famous statement from Dr. Ian Malcolm, a fictional character played by actor Jeff Goldblum in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park.

From birds to flowers, the majority of the Earth’s species stem from a few evolutionary “explosions,” where new habitats or traits sparked rapid diversification. These bursts, in fact, explain most of the planet’s biodiversity. Some of those new habitats were ignited by glaciers.

By Andrea Norgren, Senior Manager of Communications at World Wildlife Fund’s Global Arctic Program My trip to southeastern Greenland in August was an eye-opening experience. Its stark contrasts showcased the beauty and fragility of this remote region. Southeastern Greenland, including the Sermilik Fjord, where we were for many days, is a dramatic testament to the Earth’s past.

The term “air pollution,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is the contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any biological, chemical or physical agent that modifies the natural characteristics of the atmosphere.

By Stephanie Lee, WWF Program Coordinator, Alaska To me, traveling is meant to expand one’s view of the world. It is to see new things, meet new people and come home with a better understanding of how we’re all connected. Going to East Greenland with Nat Hab fulfilled all those expectations with a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

It’s July, and I already know what’s coming. Scientists will find that 2025 is one of the hottest years on record, just like 2024 was and 2023 before it. They’ve been warning us for decades that this would happen.

Captivating remnants of ancient times, fossils offer a window into Earth’s history and the evolution of life. They document the past, providing clues about extinct species, vanished environments and the processes that shaped our planet.
