You Can Go on the Ultimate Heli-Skiing Trip in Greenland with Bode Miller and Chris Davenport This Spring For many, a week of heli-skiing is the ideal ski trip. When you add doing it in Greenland, staying on a luxury yacht, and rubbing elbows with Bode Miller and Chris Davenport, it becomes the ultimate trip. That’s exactly what EYOS, a private superyacht charter company is offering. Highlights of the trip include staying onboard a former Arctic Research Vessel […] Industry News Brent Thomas | October 10, 2022 0 Comments
NASA: Late Season Melting in Greenland – Most on Record for Any September In September 2022, vast areas atop the Greenland ice sheet melted. Some scientists think the widespread late-season melting—the most on record for any September—could have implications for the ice sheet next year. Greenland’s melting season typically runs from May to early September. The 2022 season started slowly, as lower-than-average air temperatures in May and June culminated in the least amount […] SnowBrains | September 9, 2022 1 Comment
NASA: A Half-Century of Ice Loss in Northwest Greenland A pair of satellite images acquired almost 50 years apart reveals striking changes to the glaciers and ice caps in northwest Greenland. Few other satellite comparisons span this much time, especially in such vivid lifelike color.

NASA: Hurricane Larry Dumps Abundant Snowfall on Greenland This post first appeared on NASA Earth Observatory and was written by Kathryn Hansen. Hurricanes are known for their destructive wind, rain, and storm surge. Hurricane Larry delivered more than that. On September 12, 2021, the storm’s remnants dropped abundant snowfall on Greenland just as the summer melt season was coming to an end. Snowfall amounts on that day are […] Weather WeatherBrains | September 15, 2021 0 Comments
It Just Rained at The Summit of Greenland for the First Time in Recorded History The post “Rain and Warmth Trigger More Melting in Greenland” first appeared on NASA Earth Observatory and was written by Kathryn Hansen. For the first time, it rained at the high point of the Greenland ice sheet, known as the Summit — yet another troubling sign of a changing Arctic, which is warming faster than any other region on the planet.

A rescue operation was launched, but unfortunately, it was too late. We have received confirmation of this from Greenland.” Stefan Maes, who looked after Dansercoer’s press relations, told Belgian […] SnowBrains | June 9, 2021 0 Comments
RIP: Renowned Climate Scientist Falls to Death in Greenland Crevasse Renowned climate scientist and glaciologist, Konrad “Koni” Steffen, slipped and fell to his death in a crevasse in August 2020, while he was doing research in the Swiss Camp area of Western Greenland. During his prolific career, Steffen had credited close to 15,000 academic credits to his name during the decades he spent studying rapidly melting ice sheets in Greenland […] Galen Carrico | August 25, 2020 0 Comments
