Le #CNFRAA organise annuellement des Journées Scientifiques de la recherche en milieux polaires ayant pour objectif principal de présenter les projets et travaux menés par la recherche polaire française. !! Vive la Science et ceux qui la font !! #JS21 Grenoble - Mai2025 #CNFRAA #sciencepolaire

Wordie wasn't always a bay... it was an ice shelf, today totally melted and almost forgotten

🐋😢 A humpback whale has died in the nets of a krill supertrawler in Antarctic waters. Conservationists warn: these vessels kill whales and deplete their main food source, krill. Read more about it in our 'Around the Polar World' section on polarjournal.net.

Have you ever met any #Greenland #fishermen? 🐟 In the port of Ilulissat, sailors leave and land between the ice every day. We met Pele Blytman and Joel Hansen. They tell us what they like about their profession and the difficulties they face. Listen to the podcast 👉 polarjournal.net/pele-blytman...

Things we've seen and things we've heard since we arrived in #Ilulissat. The echo of dogs whining and yelping on the hill opposite the town. Water running down the forehead of a baptized child. Fishermen preparing their boats for the open water. More details soon ! #Greenland #City

The Polar Retrospective looks at recent stories from around the world’s polar regions. This week we look at the steering of France’s polar strategy, gliders collecting data from a megaberg and a research that shows evidence that biosecurity measures work. polarjournal.net/the-polar-re...

At the entrance to the Icefjord Center, whose architecture refers to the flight of the snowy owl, we met Karl Sandgreen, the CEO and keeper of the place. Soon a portrait in polarjournal.net. #Arctic #Ice #Museum #Ilulissat

To mark the reissue of Christiane Ritter's “A Woman in the Polar Night ”, here's a portrait of the author and her book. This housewife's wintering in a trapper's cabin in the 1930s transformed her into a travel writer. #Arctic #Woman #Book #Story #Exploration polarjournal.net/christiane-r...

Tungus, Yakuts, Dolgans... these ethnic groups live in the vast territory of the #Sakha republic in eastern #Russia, where 9% (on average) of household income comes directly from #nature, according to a study published in PNAS. @pnas.org @hokkaidouniv.bsky.social polarjournal.net/hunting-fish...

"Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it" - Hannah Arendt, the origin of totalitarism

A quiet majority is barely audible following #Trump's recent allegations and threats concerning #Greenland. Yet these reactions come from the people most concerned. Here is a range of opinions extracted from the abundance of media reports on the topic. #Arctic polarjournal.net/the-quiet-vo...

Can the MAGA take Greenland with them? This question is in the spotlight since the Trump family's latest trip to the island. 👉https://polarjournal.net/donald-trump-wants-greenland-again-could-he-actually-succeed/ #Greenland #Island #Trump

A breath of fresh air against a backdrop of recurring #heatwaves in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, and ice-pressured sea and land routes, opens this week, in the polar retrospective. @vendeeglobe.bsky.social @govofnunavut.bsky.social #sea #ice #sailing polarjournal.net/the-polar-re... Pic : C.L.

Gabriel Boric becomes the first South American head of state in office to officially visit the South #Pole, but more importantly he is the 3rd in the world. This just goes to show the importance #Chile attaches to the #Antarctic material. polarjournal.net/the-polar-re... Picture : Chilean Air Force

De retour sur le @vendeeglobe.bsky.social Live aujourd'hui alors que la course a observé des icebergs. Les coureurs sont partagés entre émerveillement et crainte. Ils passent près du cap Horn, à 600 kilomètres des stations scientifiques de la péninsule Antarctique. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTtD...

Le Figaro a essayé un sondage pour connaitre le parti préféré des Français, résultats : les écologistes... et maintenant ils essayent de leur faire porter le chapeau de l'insécurité avec une enquête à charge. Qui est vert 😆 #France #Politique @lesecologistes.fr

Everyone knows Robert Louis Stevenson for "Treasure Island". The Scottish author, inspired by the era of polar explorers and fascinated by unknown places, also wrote "Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes". Here are the #Cévennes, lit by the low sun on rocky paths. #Book #Hiking #Nature

Two polar icons, two emblematic animals and two ice experts. One feathered, the other furry. One lives in a colony, the other is solitary. Amphipious, but one more at sea and the other more on land. If you had to make a choice... #Arctic #Antarctic

One last look in the rear-view mirror before the end of the year, with a prison release, millions of dead birds, a giant iceberg on the move again and a new icebreaker for science. #Freezy #Bird #whales #ship @canadiangermany.bsky.social @uaf-oarc-alaska.bsky.social polarjournal.ch/en/2024/12/2...

Since November 8, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts is exhibiting works by Inuk artists. You can find an overview of the exhibition here. #Arctic #Art #Inuit @mbamtl.bsky.social polarjournal.ch/en/2024/12/2...

How could this #graffiti have appeared on one of the most isolated islands on the #planet? No one has the answer today, apart from the author and his associates, who used protected historical remain as support. #monument @iaato_org #Antarctic polarjournal.ch/en/2024/12/2...

At Machu Picchu station, the state of stress and anxiety of members of a polar expedition differs depending on whether they belong to the army or the navy, according to a new study. #Antarctica #Mind #Confinement polarjournal.ch/en/2024/12/1...

...Unfortunately, the polar ice sheets are also major influencers! 💅 These fragile frozen zones are connected to many other parts of the global climate system. This means that changes there may lead to a cascade of ‘tipping’ across the Earth's climate. 🧵 2/5

The idea of an underwater curtain to protect glaciers from melting has not yet been presented at the Antarctic Treaty meetings, but it could well be. That's why researchers have estimated the risks this could pose. #Politic 👉 polarjournal.ch/en/2024/11/2... #Antarctic #Ice #Melt #Sea

Differences of opinion and geopolitical factors, at the 43rd meeting of the #CCAMLR Commission, discussions between the 28 members on krill fishery ended in deadlock. Interview of Javier Arata from the Association of Responsible #Krill Fishing Companies. #Antarctic polarjournal.ch/en/2024/11/2...

What would an Australian #Antarctic Research Conference in Hobart be without a tour of the Australian icebreaker RSV Nuyina? Thanks to the AAD and TasPorts | #AARC2024 @antarctic.bsky.social @arcsaef.bsky.social @utas.bsky.social
