Scientists have reported some rare good news from the Arctic. As the climate changes and the ice melts, in one region at least, polar bears are thriving — finding new ways to survive, and even packing ...

Seals favored by Svalbard bears are becoming easier to hunt as ice declines, a study found. But researchers say the situation may be temporary. By Eric Niiler The population of polar bears in Norway’s ...

The finding offers a small window of hope for a polar bear population vulnerable to the effects of climate change. A polar bear (Ursus maritimus) walks on pack ice in Svalbard, Norway. The effects ...

Rising Arctic temperatures and melting sea ice could be causing cold air to flow into the Northern Hemisphere. But not all scientists agree. By Eric Niiler The polar vortex is a ribbon of ...

Meet our story’s protagonist: a female polar bear. Displaced by shrinking sea ice in the Arctic, she was forced to wander south, deeper into the Canadian Northwest Territories. Here, our lady in white ...

Frigid temperatures are expected to impact much of the central and eastern United States in the coming weeks. The first of three polar vortex systems is expected this month, according to AccuWeather.

High above the North Pole, in a slice of atmosphere rarely noticed and even less understood, a transformation is underway. Over the next 10 days, changes in the stratosphere will upend weather ...
