    Ondanks dat het ijs er sneller smelt dan in anderen gebieden, worden de ijsberen die op Spitsbergen leven juist dikker. De dieren zijn molliger geworden door prooien op het land, blijkt uit onderzoek.

  8. #Spitsbergen, waar ijsbergen en stilte de overhand hebben, wordt steeds vaker overspoeld door toeristen. Noorwegen probeert het tij te keren: strikte regels beschermen niet alleen de natuur, maar versterken ook de controle over het eiland. Maar kun je de wildernis wild laten, als je er tegelijk voet aan wal wil houden? Een reportage van Maya Toebat. mo.be/reportage/Noorwegen-wil-

  9. There's nothing else like it; this time of the year when the sun circles higher and higher overhead, 'til even at its lowest...it's still broad daylight. My capture from Longyearbyen, "Midnight in the Shadow World".

  10. Radio exclusion zone in Ny-Ålesund: 5G mobiles disrupt research facilities.

    In one of the world's northernmost settlements, several research facilities in Ny-Ålesund on Spitsbergen are under threat from tourists' mobile devices.

    The introduction of 5G mobile communications and the increasing interference from tourism and cruise ships arriving there have caused significantly more disruption.

  12. Ongelofelijk, nieuw klimaatbericht van het @knmi Augustus 2024 was op #Spitsbergen liefst 5 graden warmer dan gemiddeld, het werd er af en toe 20 graden. Met heel grote afstand de warmste maand ooit gemeten. Ten gevolge daarvan smolt veel ijs, en de neerslag die viel was regen in plaats van sneeuw, wat de gletsjers extra snel donker maakt en versneld laat afsmelten.

    Er is opnieuw een nieuwe diersoort ontdekt die is getroffen door vogelgriep: een walrus die vorig jaar dood is gevonden op de eilandengroep Spitsbergen had de virusziekte onder de leden. Volgens onderzoeker Christian Lydersen van het Noors Poolinstituut is het de eerste keer dat de...
