Masaaki Miyahara said it’s like finding a tropical seed in Arctic ice - suggesting either a surprising local environment or ...

The team recovered chunks of ancient soil from some thin rock layers in the formation. This was during the winter, when temperatures were -30°C (-22°F) and home was a tent.

A surprising discovery from a tiny grain of asteroid Ryugu has rocked scientists' understanding of how our Solar System evolved. Researchers found djerfisherite—a mineral typically born in scorching, ...

Researchers in Canada's high Arctic are on a hunt for rusty rocks similar to Mars. ... which require the presence of water during their formation," the T-MARS project website states.

A collection of fossils discovered in northern Alaska shows that birds were nesting in harsh Arctic environments as early as 72.8 million years ago. The fossil assemblage, uncovered from the Late ...

Climate models generally predict that as the Arctic warms, clouds in the region will contain more liquid water and less ice, since warmer temperatures typically suppress the formation of ice crystals.

According to scientists, Arctic waters typically contain layers of water with different temperatures, salinity and densities, all of which impact the formation of sea ice and how long that ice lasts.

Scientists have uncovered 4 billion-year-old rocks from another formation in Canada called the Acasta Gneiss Complex, but the Nuvvuagittuq rocks could be even older.
