The Latest Breaking News from Greenland

Forecasters fear another cold snap is on its way from Greenland early next month.

New ice core data shows Greenland is the warmest it's been in more than 1,000 years

In the Arctic, the freedom to travel, hunt and make day-to-day decisions is profoundly tied to cold and frozen conditions for much of the year. These conditions are rapidly changing as the Arctic warms.

The recovered DNA contains fragments of genetic material from plants, corals, mastodons and other animals.

The weather pattern is uncannily similar to the winter of 2009-10, which produced Mid-Atlantic blizzards.

At the icy northern tip of Greenland, far into the Artic Circle, a deep bed of sediment beneath the mouth of a fjord has lain frozen and undisturbed for 2 million years.

Scientists have identified DNA from animals, plants and microbes dating to about 2 million years ago - the oldest on record by far - from sediment at Greenland's northernmost point dug up around the mouth of an Arctic Ocean fjord, revealing an amazing lost world at this remote frontier.

The microscopic fragments, found in Ice Age sediment in northern Greenland, are twice the age of the previous oldest DNA.

The dramatic vanishing of polar ice sheets will cause catastrophic sea level rise that will threaten cities, according to a major new study

"Melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet is one of several factor that contributes to global sea level rise"

Glacier expert Dr Donald Slater says Ireland will be affected as melting glaciers contribute to sea level rises
